I don't know if this is the case for Spanish, but it is worth noting that grammatical gender and human gender don't always line up when they are both present either. Like German's Mädchen, meaning "girl" or "young woman", is not a feminine word. If that sort of thing is common it might help enby people feel a little more comfortable with it, or at least I imagine it might since I'm not one

Funniest example I know is how vagina is masculine in French.

And "beard" in Russian (борода, baraDA) is feminine.

Also in latin languages. I suspect it may be common to all indoeuropean languages
