Yes, and the person you replied to said that it doesn’t happen there … if something is absent it doesn’t necessarily make it worse, it just means it’s handled in a different way.
Like where I live - most people use feminine words for me simply because that’s the toilet I use most of the time. If I wanted to correct them I could do so gently without making a big deal of it
From my point of view (namely an enby from outside of the US) it does look like that … mostly because it should be a non-issue, yet people who would prefer gender-neutral terms spend a lot of time fussing over it
In a good chunk of the world, yes. But Australia is an english-speaking country, so - last I checked - it still uses gendered pronouns.

Fair point, though I get annoyed sometimes by both sides of the US culture wars so I read it from that standpoint
