I really like Esperanto as a principle, but I wish it was gender-neutral from the get-go. It's weird that hyper-genderized grammar made the cut.
It somehow kinda feels worse than French—having the radix be masculine instead of simply the default variation?
(in Esperanto, you switch the -o suffix to -ito to change to feminine, while French often changes the termination if not the whole word: 《 Institut[eur/rice] 》 and 《 monsieur / madame 》).
