Interesting reading. My first reaction is no, it doesn't. English speakers seem to think the issue of grammatical gender is intimately associated with biological sex, and therefore some kind of difference in thought processes when using an inflection which is gender-dependant. This does not happen. I could go on for ever here ....

You know, I think you and I agree on that one. I have no difficulty distinguishing between male pronouns, etc. which refer to males vs. those which refer to neutral or unknown gender. Nor does it offend me. I'm no old-fashioned thinker ... it just simply doesn't bother me......
