You don't even need a convoluted sentence like that, just now on the news the reporter was talking about a trans woman's mental health problems and said "Jane's parents were concerned that they may harm themselves"

It is a bit of an awkward way of speaking

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.
