Then there is the problem:
 A report is being made about the referee(?) of a committee making
some sexist decision
Then, doesn't gender become significant in any reporting?
ie: it should be called chair[man|woman] rather than chairwhatever
    to help give background to the sexist action
that means that not only do we have to create a whole new set of
gender-less words but retain the gender-ed ones too! for there WILL be
situations were gender DOES count - as much as the anti-sexists would
want otherwise.
