Yeah, and like in my own example, it's easily clarified by simply saying Jane's parents were concerned that Jane may harm theirself.

Over and beyond gendered pronouns, the overwhelming amount of confusing sentences I read aren't confusing because of genderless pronouns. They're confusing because they're poorly written.
