The problem is that pronouns aren't used to refer to someone's sex or gender, they're used to refer to the person, who just happens to be a particular sex or gender. So if you're referring to someone and you're not specifically talking about this particular issue, maybe just whether they'd like some ice cream or something, then which one do you use?
I hear you however if you are specifically referring to someone's sex or their gender, it would be helpful to have pronouns for both, and for those pronouns to not overlap so as to avoid confusion.
So for example if I'm referring to someone who is biologically male but their gender is female, no one needs to be confused as to whether I'm referring to them in terms of their sex or their gender.
i.e.
Sex :
- Male-He/Man
- Female-She/Woman
Gender :
- Male-xxx/xxxxx
- Female-yyy/xxxxx
etc
