Shouldn’t that be “ze” instead of either “he” or “she”, and “zir” instead of either “him” or “her”? “He-ze” and “she-zir” wouldn’t eliminate the difference between male and female pronouns; it would simply substitute a new set of different pronouns for the existing ones.
Listen — I’m still reeling from the dumbass Jeb Bush remark about putting Margaret Thatcher on the $20 bill — presumably because he’s too ignorant of the existence of American women in history.
So new pronouns aren’t going to do a thing for womankind in the face of THAT special kind of stupidity.

I remember decades ago some pointy-headed intellectual came up with “jhe” as a gender neutral pronoun.It never caught on.
