Enum & Valerie quoted The Thread That Binds by Cedar McCloud (Eternal Library, #1)
The books are restless.
At the Eternal Library, books are more than the paper, ink, …
“I'm Amane Sol, she/her pronouns, please,” the stranger says. Ah. Traditionally, the Casporan language only has one pronoun set: e/em/eir. Casporan culture doesn't include a concept of gender, so that's all we needed. But since language is a living, breathing thing, it's come to reflect our diverse immigrant population, too. Some people who come from cultures with genders, like Amane, have come up with their own Casporan pronouns to help them feel more at home. As a polyglot, I think it's fascinating. I just wish I understood what the hell gender actually is. No one can explain it to my satisfaction.

Nice idea. I just wish the author had checked how this works in the real world, in real languages with only one 3rd person pronoun set. There's quite a lot of them after all, and still you don't really see people introducing gendered pronouns to, e.g. Finnish or Turkish, just because their native language has them. Just because there's gender as a cultural concept, really doesn't mean you need gendered pronouns for that o_O
