 > Supporting gender-based translations is not possible if pronouns is a
 freeform field.

 Pronouns and grammatical gender are two different things.

 Languages have a fixed set of grammatical genders, usually masculine,
 feminine, and neutral. A user who uses a gender-neutral pronoun such as
 "they/them" may still wish to select their preferred grammatical gender
 (eg. feminine) if the language they use doesn't support genuinely gender-
 neutral grammar.
