Audrey is 'her'? I regret to inform you that Taiwan is still behind the curve. The highest rank of post-genderism in English is to be a 'they'. Although I suppose this particular bit of English grammar doesn't translate into Chinese all that well....

Chinese personal pronouns have five grammatical genders (male, female, animal, inanimate, and god), but they're all pronounced exactly the same ("ta"), though written with different characters. Audrey has said ta is so far beyond gender that ta accepts any and all pronouns. So yes, behind the curve. I mean, what's the point of degenderacy without the pronoun policing?
