However some native speakers of English find that unappealing.
In this case, as very often happens, the sentence could have been
easily reworded to say "your".

Note that English has _almost_ entirely abandoned grammatical
gender, so that people think of pronouns as referring to sex.
Other languages, like Russian, have not done this, and I wonder
whether the same issue arises there?
