Can We Label The Board?

I'm posting this as someone completely new to chess.

I decided to learn how to play for the first time. While I found the beginner's tutorial very helpful, I have two suggestions for it:

Can we label the board and pieces? Perhaps not permanently, but have an option to turn labels on and off similar to the "correct piece" function or "correct space" etc.

Some of us newbies are visual learners. While I understand that you can just count the spaces to find the one the instruction is refering to, for a newbie, this can take up energy and concentration that could otherwise be spent on learning the technique, not just the instructions. (nevermind that a beginner can also get the instructions wrong due to newness. A seasoned pro will automatically know which square C5 is, but a beginner needs to be trained that way)

The same goes for having an option to show labels on the pieces. This is more of an issue for pawns than anything else. I find I have difficulty learning which pawn the instructions are telling me to move.

The second suggestion may get me some flack, but I feel like it needs to be said: I don't like being presumed to be male. When the instructions tell me "him" and "his move" and "he moves next" it assumes that I am male. Men may not find this an issue at all, and some women can simply look past it, but the language itself creates a gendered environment. Personally, I feel a bit discouraged from joining in a community when it assumes that I am male and has a sort of unspoken "no girls allowed" sign on the door.

I would like to suggest changing the male-only language to the gender-neutral "they". "Their move next" "They sacrificed their rook." etc. It's not a huge deal, but it's a small thing that could be made to be more welcoming for female players.

Two very good suggestions that I would support.

On gender issue: I have written a couple rulebooks and focussed on getting it 'genderfriendly', but it is actually quite hard! You dont want to type "the player moves his/her piece" so you'll have to rephrase it. And in some cases that is not easy becuase there is no neutral his/her, he/she, etc.
