It's trivial to see that both the speaker's and the listener's gender
may be relevant.  In languages where predicate adjectives describing
persons are inflected in a way that agrees natural gender, a sentence
like "I am X" will inflect X according to the speaker's gender, whereas
"You are X" will inflect according to the listener's.
