Everyone has biases, that's just a fact. Something can only be unbiased in comparison to something else that has the same biases. Having biases doesn't make you evil.
Yeah, I only considered English language sites, not other languages that don't support gender-neutrality as easily. I think I should add something about them, though. I don't see how any language could possibly require gender to be implemented as a boolean. If you've got an English-language site you're translating to another language, and you've implemented a selector for "he", "she", and "they" pronouns without direct reference to gender in the English version, you could just re-use the same implementation in your language with different options.
(Also, I can guarantee that there's someone who speaks your language that prefers to be referred to in the neutral/inanimate form. Doesn't matter which language. It's fine not to support that on the site, just wanted to point it out.)
