I'm now really curious about what trans activists are doing about their pronoun policing mission in gendered languages where there's basically no way to insert zem/zer type neologisms even if people were willing to adopt them. You'd have to reinvent the whole grammar.

The cognitive effort to force a wide adoption of ze/zir already seems pretty high, at least for English. I'm pretty skeptical of doing that for every verb.

Note, I'd _favor_ such a thing, according to my humanitarian views. But language changes seem to "emerge" more than they can be forced.
