Thirdly, when we talk about npcs, we use _their_ gender pronouns or names.

Should an NPC call us a gendered title of sir or ma’am, that’s about all we’ll hear from gender identity toggle.

True, in English it’s rare to come across instances in BG3 where the identity selected makes a difference as currently implemented. I think I’ve seen folk mention that in some other languages the gender of the protagonist might make more of a difference to the dialogue, though I’m one of those stereotypical English-speakers who have never managed to become anything close to fluent in another language so I’m not going to embarrass myself by trying to work out what those differences might be.
