      No idea why it boils down to treatment of LGBT, as if that is the only group that is consistently fucked with.

      They might not use genered pronouns, but they do a lot of referring to people as uncle/auntie/big sister/little brother and the like.

      (Chinese language does not really use gendered pronouns)

      他(male) and 她(female), no?

      And also 它 for animal/object

      Or at least that’s what i learn when i’m in school, not sure if anything change.

        You are correct. 他 for he, and 她 for she. However since they all sound the same, they’re only distinguished in writing.

          It’s not that they sound the same; they are the same and are just written differently. It was all 他 until in the 20th (I think) century they created 她 and 它 and made 他 for males only to make the language more European.
