Grammatical gender doesn't have anything to do with biological or sociological gender. The motivation behind these changes is the ambition to equalize societal problems of representation or something else. I don't really know the goal here exactly as nobody has defined it sufficiently to my knowledge.

But that is also technically irrelevant because the mechanisms of association between language and perception is also insufficiently justified. Probably even working backwards. Partly because it is a hot topic, but also because everyone reading these arcane terms will make the topic a gendered issue and not Covid for example. I think people that do that too frequently have mental problems and should not dictate language usage.

Under the line it does very well look that this language enforcement is arbitrary and mostly motivated by animosity to whatever.

But please, explain the problem again, what is the goal and how do these mechanisms improve the problem.

And the generic masculine is the de facto and de jure standard, whether you like it or not.
