If you do not want any exposure to your character being called "they", that's fine. Don't select the option. Adding such a feature takes nothing away from you, because you can completely and totally avoid it, with no extra effort put forward on your part.
    I did answer your question, though it was rather vague. I apologize.

    Adding a feature like that wouldn't just remind us all of the current political culture war in a fantasy game we play to forget about the real world, it would be an inclination that the devs support the side that I and players like myself aren't on. Which is pretty depressing.

    Keep in mind that this is the tl;dr version of my answer. I didn't write all of that for nothing. If you aren't satisfied by the short version, please read the long version.

    EDIT: Sigh I'm really unhappy with the short answer, so here's a concise list of points:
    1. It takes me out of the immersion to remind me about the culture war happening irl.
    2. It's not necessary to add since you can pick your in-game gender anyway, unlike irl where you can't (among a host of other things - see long answer).
    3. Implementation would be indication of SE supporting this kind of coddling behavior, which isn't a good thing.
