What I do is "simply" structure my sentence, such that repeating G-d's name makes ANY pronoun superfluous, or using the numerical pronoun "oneself" : "It is only through G-d's action that G-d can be known." This can, of course, lead to rather twisted sentences, but I'm insistent about this point.
In Hebrew, because all parts of speech are gendered, we inherently know that the associated gender isn't necessarily that of the described entity or action, so while Scripture, and common usage, uses male pronouns for G-d (most of the time), it is clear that G-d, at least, is entirely gender-neutral!
LOL on the pronouns
