There is no grammatical gender in English, and so gender concord is no great issue, even with words normally associated with physical gender. It is grammatically correct to say he is a woman, she is a man, and it is a person.
Concord appears sometimes in the use of pronouns: He has his place and she has hers.
In correct ( though perhaps not politically correct) English, the masculine form of the pronoun is used when the gender of the antecedent is not specified or relevant: Will everyone please take his seat. Many over-corrective people insist on saying his or her, or writing the semi-unpronounceable his/her, but it is not good English. In an all female environment, we would naturally say Will everyone please take her seat.

In English language, gender concord is not as prominent as in some other languages. However, one example of gender concord in English is the use of gender-specific pronouns like "he" and "she" to match the gender of the person being referred to. Another example is gender-specific titles such as "Mr." and "Mrs." being used based on the gender of the person.
