Well, in a way English already does that compared to other languages, having gender-agnostic first- and second-person pronouns, gender-agnostic verbs (even verbs that the speaker applies to oneself!), gender-agnostic adjectives, and gender-agnostic numerals (ordinal, counting, distributive and even such ones as 'both'), which seem like awkward features when they coexist with a strong push for conflating merging/conflating social gender and linguistic gender.
