It's always irritated me to see the use of the word "her" because of the blatant political-correctness of it. If you want to be PC, use "their".

So we can only use "his" or "their"?

You don't like implied political correctness. OP doesn't like implied gender bias. I don't like grammatical convolutions like using "their". What's to be done?

How about focusing on the message?

use "their"

constantly using "their" when reading anything that remotely resembles a story gets old pretty fast.
