I don’t know any Arabic. I don’t think it’s possible to strip genders out of a language. Genders are a grammatical thing and are not only about chromosome-expressed sex differences.

Latin “nauta” is masculine, but has feminine forms.

I’ve been hollering that gender is grammatical, and equating it with birth sex (as opposed to the act) is purely Newspeak, from Orwell’s 1984. When did people start using gender to refer to anatomical sex?
