My native language don't have gender-neutral personal pronouns. If I want to use pronouns correctly in English, I have to make mental pause before writing he or she to figure it out. Woman/man distinction does not come automatically.

When I use or think in English, my brain has weird rules of its own. Some person can have his/her pronoun constantly wrong. For some it's random. Context and rhythm can also can create pattern.
