No, it won't get any easier. When you use "they", you are in fact losing information. If I say "he" or "she", the amount of information I'm portraying is, and always will be, greater than a "neutral" pronoun can convey.

Information is lost. I concur. But it will get easier (than now).

If thou dost not agree, thy children may.

Perhaps my rudeness at using the familial second person with a stranger was lost. I hope so. I didn't mean to be rude. Rather to demonstrate that the English language is better for having not preserved that unnecessary distinction.
