it’s not only that “we don’t usually have the same instincts”, we have a burden of confusing loans, imports, translations, false friends &c.
When you start dealing with gendered languages, it’s even worse. There’s no logic to it. A hand is a she in one language, a he in another and neutral in third.
also, this pronoun question of culture wars is ridiculous for someone who can speak non-gendered languages 🤷
