On the gender issue of the indefinite pronoun is that which occurs in many nouns for
people. Noun for that person is everybody, everyone, anyone, anybody, somebody
and someone who is sometimes followed by subjective possessive and objective. So
this gender issue does not refer to a particular gender. Then to overcome the gender

he or she and himself or herself. Reflexive pronoun is a pronoun for people or animals
and returns to the subject. Reflexive pronouns are used instead of people or animals
