Me whose native language conjugates verbs and adjectives according to subject's gender:

wasz język nie wymaga sprecyzowania płci podmiotu w każdym zdaniu?

Also Chinese kind of has gendered pronouns: 你 and 妳, both mean 'you' and are pronounced the same but the latter is used in writing to address females specifically. Though this is Taiwanese Mandarin-specific.

edit: 他她 as well obviously

Yeah Chinese isn't a perfect example with the existence of 你妳 and 他她, etc. Though to be fair I've noticed native Chinese speakers get pretty confused by English pronouns and tend to mix them up since it's mostly optional in Cheese.

Optional in cheese sounds like a lactose intolerant thing (my autocorrect tried putting in optimal and lacrosse, which was funny to me)

I was so confused when I saw your comment abou lactose intolerance and was wondering what it has to do with "optional in Chinese." It took longer that I'd like to admit to realize that the original comment and yours said "cheese."
