I don't believe that's the case. If we are using a language that doesn't have a pronoun that means "of both genders" then we're kind of stuck with either "he" or "she". ("It" in English doesn't generally refer to people, so that wouldn't work.)

I just think of it as a semantic thing and don't worry about it. When I think about the nature of God, I don't think of "Him" as a gendered being.
