I believe the author is female.
- sremani 11y agoNo. http://gingearstudio.com/about http://gingearstudio.com/about
- bipin_nag 11y agoNo. See Maxime with his partner http://gingearstudio.com/about http://gingearstudio.com/about
- frenchie14 11y agoJust an FYI, Maxime is a boy's name. I'm guessing you saw the name at the top and assumed it was a girl.
- Rumudiez 11y agoOne more FYI: "he" is grammatically considered a neuter form unless otherwise informed, just like in Spanish and other romantic languages which don't bother making up "zhe" pronouns and the like. If the GP didn't know or care about exactly who Maxime is, "he" would be correct regardless of his actual gender. Yes, wiki-link but with 3 immediate useful references in the first paragraph.

- jadyoyster 11y agoI very rarely see native English speakers use "he" as a gender neutral pronoun. It's usually plural they (when stating generalities) or singular they [0]. I find singular they much less ambiguous and sexist than "he" and you'll rarely find someone taking issue with its use, something that cannot be said about generic "he" as can be seen above.

- chaostheory 11y agoI typically only see they being used when it's not about a specific person. It's hard and strange to use 'they' when you know the name of the person you are talking about.
