OK, I know I’m prolly having a bit of an Autism about this…

For Reasons I quite often check out books for Smalls (and Mediums and now actual young Grown Ups who have largely grown up in a different cultural and linguistic environment) about Gender stuff and Sexuality.

I’ve just read one that claims that The most commonly used pronouns are she/her/hers and he/him/his !
Obviously the actual most commonly used pronouns are I/me/mine, we/our/ours and you/yours.
(I’m now curious which of those gets used most).
He and she are just the most popular third-person singular pronouns. And even among third person pronouns if you add all the plural they/them/theirs to the singular ones then they must be more popular than the gender-specfic options.

There appear to be a load of grammatical challenged people in the world who think that pronoun means a-word-that-clues-others-into-your-gender rather than a-word-used-so-as-to-not-have-to-keep-repeating-people’s-names
