The issue with French is that, even if you use a kinda not gendered pronoun, the entire language is still heavily gendered.
If you use "iel" then what does follow? Masculine, feminine, or the kinda neutral inclusive writing using a dot? For me that's where the biggest friction is, because the solution is harder to find than inventing new pronouns.
For non French speakers, the sentence "he is nice" would be translated as "il est gentil" and the sentence "she is nice" would be translated as "Elle est gentille"
Now, how do we write "they are nice"
iel est gentil (masculine)
iel est gentille (feminine)
iel est gentil.le (neutral inclusive)
So yeah, that's really complicated because the language is clearly not created with that in mind.
Got to say I really dig the scale of the new transport infrastructure. The train depot, or the harbour look as they should, and the airport seems massive too.
Also from what I've read there seems to be height limitations for buildings in the runway axis, which would be a nice touch.
