If anyone has seen knows a little Japanese when the vet director speaks in first person do they use feminine or masculine pronouns when talking about themselves?

    Idk if this will help but in Japanese they don't really use pronouns. Chan and kun can be a bit of an indicator but since the director is of higher status i assume they were using San or Sama which is gender neutral and based on the context i assume the director identifies as female.

    He uses 私 (watashi) which is gender neutral & is the only pronoun female can use
    He had never used 俺 (ore) or 僕 (boku) which is something only male can use
