that's because, linguistically speaking, pronouns are a 'closed case', like determiners (the, a, etc.)
open cases, like nouns and verbs, are much easier to add new words into, which is why you probably have an easier time with words like 'reblog' than 'zir'
but that just means it takes longer to get used to them, not that it's impossible. and english did used to have a gender-neutral pronoun set.
