Fascinating. So yeah, that's what we use. He/him pronouns, and mother/daughter terminology. No quotation marks like saying "mother".

I'm interested, though, in finding out too if these cases of all getting one gendered pronoun also explicitly state the sex and/or gender of the people themselves. I wouldn't necessarily say, when we're talking about non-humans certainly, that "male pronouns" equals "male gender", or if they're all just another case of writers lazily using masculine pronouns as somehow gender-neutral, which is certainly quite outdated.
