That's my point, though. How often, in a work email, do you directly reference a person's gender? The only time I can ever see it being a problem is if you Cc someone on an email that the Cc'ed person is the subject of.

I think it makes even less sense in a college setting. Now, this could be because I majored in Economics and most lectures had 0 interaction, but I feel like most professors don't even address students. If they do address a student, it is usually directly.

This 100% wasn't a thing either when I was in undergrad or law school, but professors routinely referred to people as "Mr./Ms. (Lastname)". So while the pronoun itself wouldn't matter, I could see how it would simply act towards gendering in general. I had a few undergrad professors refer to students by their first name, but even that wasn't super common. It pretty much didn't exist in law school.
