Comment (by Demitsu):

 Most of the time it would suffice if the English texts were 100% gender-
 neutral. This Ticket was probably inspired (and is definitely being
 referred to) by [https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/gaim-
 otr/+bug/72624 Lauchpad bug #72624] in Ubuntu: »Message(s) too gender-
 specific«. Quoting from there:

 > > Alexandra has ended his private conversation with you; you should do
 the same.
 >
 > Well, »his« is not quite the right pronoun. I could swear that last time
 I checked, Alexandra was still female... Anyway, there may be more strings
 are affected with gender-specificness. This should probably be changed to
 something neutral.

 This is an issue with Gaim-OTR, however. Other than that, I did not notice
 any gender-specificness in either the English text or during my short
 exposure to the German translation.
