As a native speaker of Portuguese, I am not convinced it's harder for speakers of gendered languages because of linguistics. I believe culture plays a bigger role.

I definitely find it hard, and I pay close attention. My natural speech patterns still assume a gender for things, even when my brain has stopped doing that.

I got into this habit, and got dinged once I transitioned to writing papers. Different context, but I wind up using "they" in only very specific circumstances, and wish I had an appropriate gender-neutral pronoun to replace it
-
Huh? Why does "they" not work?

I worked in a game studio where we used "they" as standard but in many cases you can also simply use "the player/s" for the same effect or for clarity if there are lots of parties being discussed.

I never understood why native speakers find the singular "they" to be a hard concept or not even know of it. Coming from a gendered language myself this is one of the first things we learned in English class and never really had trouble with it.

I always think of this clip whenever this comes up. Can't read "he or she" without hearing it as he OR SHE
