OMG(osh). I cannot fathom the usage of pronouns without first referencing the noun. It’s like using an acronym without explaining what is the meaning. It’s like being in a meeting where people use occupational jargon but I am not in on the lingo. It’s like students not providing the units for a number. - I do not know what you are talking about! Monkeys, moo-moos, or marbles?
Third-person pronouns - say ‘em real fast:
he-she-it
Think about what you just said but with a Southern drawl.
Now, get off the pot. Wash your hands with plenty of soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. And please, from now on clarify.
(That was a seventh-grade “teaching moment” lesson, modified for this audience. Perhaps it would be funnier if you were a middle school student.)

I just read that out loud in my "normal" accent, grandson gave a very strange look, then laughed and ran off yelling. You got us in trouble with Mom and Nana
“he-she-it” it was I call the kind you can’t tell what the heck he/she/it is... I’m just trying to be polite and observe proper gender fluid pronouns, really!
