I HATE gender-neutral pronouns. In refuse to use "zie" and "zir" -- I use "them" and "they" if for no other reason than I can keep them straight. And if it was good enough for Jane Austen, it's good enough for me.
I don't mind them horribly when they're used correctly, but so many people throw them around randomly and the lack of subject/object/possessive attention distracts me impossibly. (I don't love them, either. I prefer, when possible, a re-write, or if necessary, "they/them." It's not necessary to say, "A doctor should respect his patients" when "doctors should respect their patients" is right there and available.
