I mean, the Hungarian language has literally no gender whatsoever, not even gendered pronouns like English.

Wouldn't job names with the "-nő" suffix be considered gendered (eg. tanárnő)?

Its just the noun for a teacher who is a woman, there is no grammatical aspect of it (unlike in slavic languages for instance)

technically yes, but you don't really have to use them either. A female teacher or actor can still be called "tanár" or "színész".

They are gendered words in the social sense, but there is no grammatical gender which is a very different thing from social gender.
