Actually there are gender neutral pronouns in English. They are more recent constructs, but they are still valid. "Ze" is the gender-nonspecific form of she/he and "hir" is the gender-nonspecific form of her/him/his. Those are the most common, but several other accepted (though not commonly used) gender-nonspecific pronouns.
