@philosphorus I've wondered if it could just be that myself, a failure of language. However for one, I'm pretty sure that previously English didn't have these gaps when it came to non-gendered, singular pronouns - which I'm guessing is what you're referring to?
These gaps may make it harder for some people to 'understand' transpeople, but empathy for another human should supersede any failure of a language in categorising people. (I hate categorisation, however if we have to...)
Languages sometimes do evolve 'naturally,' sometimes not (via committee, political will, etc) and sometimes a mix of both.
English isn't a dark age's language and is no better, or worse than any other language. They're all different and often related either in the present, the past, or both.
