For some time I used to use "she/her" on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays and "he/his" on other days to balance them, and you are
seeing the artifact of that.

Some people might feel that we would be better off using "they" all
the time, but IMO it's such a minor thing that once it _is_ in the
tree, it's not really worth the patch noise to go and fix it up.
