English personal pronouns
The English personal pronouns are a subset of English pronouns taking various forms according to number, person, case and grammatical gender. Modern English has very little inflection of nouns or adjectives, to the point where some authors describe it as an analytic language, but the Modern English system of personal pronouns has preserved some of the inflectional complexity of Old English and Middle English.
He (pronoun)
In Modern English, he is a singular, masculine, third-person pronoun. In Standard Modern English, he has four shapes representing five distinct word forms: he: the nominative (subjective) form him: the accusative (objective) form (also called the oblique case) his: the dependent and independent genitive (possessive) forms himself: the reflexive form Old English had a single third-person pronoun — from the Proto-Germanic demonstrative base *khi-, from PIE *ko- "this" — which had a plural and three genders in the singular.
Pronom personnel en français
En grammaire française, le pronom personnel est une catégorie de pronoms servant à désigner les trois types de personnes grammaticales. La classification des pronoms en trois personnes distinctes a été héritée de la culture grecque qui appelait Personae les figurations réalisées par la flexion verbale.

Gender in English
A system of grammatical gender, whereby every noun was treated as either masculine, feminine, or neuter, existed in Old English, but fell out of use during the Middle English period; therefore, Modern English largely does not have grammatical gender. Modern English lacks grammatical gender in the sense of all noun classes requiring masculine, feminine, or neuter inflection or agreement; however, it does retain features relating to natural gender with particular nouns and pronouns (such as woman, daughter, husband, uncle, he and she) to refer specifically to persons or animals of one or other sexes and neuter pronouns (such as it) for sexless objects.
It (pronoun)
In Modern English, it is a singular, neuter, third-person pronoun. In Modern English, it has only three shapes representing five word forms: it: the nominative (subjective) and accusative (objective) forms. (The accusative case is also called the "oblique".) its: the dependent and independent genitive (possessive) forms itself: the reflexive form Historically, though, the morphology is more complex. Old English had a single third-person pronoun – from the Proto-Germanic demonstrative base *khi-, from PIE *ko- "this" – which had a plural and three genders in the singular.

La neutralité de genre est une idée selon laquelle les politiques, le langage et d'autres institutions sociales devraient éviter de distinguer les rôles selon le sexe ou l'identité de genre d'un individu.
They singulier
Le they singulier (singular they) est, en anglais, l'utilisation au singulier du pronom de la troisième personne du pluriel they pour désigner une personne seule de genre indéterminé ou non binaire. Apparu au , puis considéré comme fautif par certains grammairiens, l'usage du they singulier décline mais reste continu. À cause de l'absence de pronom neutre singulier pouvant s'appliquer aux personnes, il trouve un regain d'intérêt à la fin du , étant utilisé par des personnes qui adoptent un langage épicène ou non-sexiste, et recommandé par certaines instances officielles comme le parlement britannique.
Féminisation des noms de métiers en français
La féminisation des noms de métiers est une politique linguistique visant à faire évoluer les substantifs désignant des métiers vers des formes féminisées de façon à rendre plus visible le rôle des femmes dans la vie publique et professionnelle. En français, la plupart des noms de métier traditionnellement masculins soit ne disposent pas d'une forme féminine, soit ont des formes féminines anciennes tombées en désuétude. La construction de cette féminisation est par ailleurs encore hésitante pour certains mots en -eur pour lesquels il n'existe pas de consensus quant à leur féminisation.
She (pronom personnel)
In Modern English, she is a singular, feminine, third-person pronoun. In Standard Modern English, she has four shapes representing five distinct word forms: she: the nominative (subjective) form her: the accusative (objective, also called the 'oblique'.) form; the dependent genitive (possessive) form hers: the independent genitive form herself: the reflexive form Old English had a single third-person pronoun – from the Proto-Germanic demonstrative base *khi-, from PIE *ko- "this" – which had a plural and three genders in the singular.
Gender neutrality in languages with grammatical gender
Gender neutrality in languages with grammatical gender is the usage of wording that is balanced in its treatment of the genders in a non-grammatical sense. For example, advocates of gender-neutral language challenge the traditional use of masculine nouns and pronouns (e.g. "man" and "he") when referring to two or more genders or to a person of an unknown gender in most Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic languages. This stance is often inspired by feminist ideas about gender equality.
