Mar 3, 2019 at 2:21	comment	added	Matt Gutting		@bencrowell the question title asks how sex and pronouns are related in the book, and the subsidiary questions in the body revolve generally around the same topic. Since the author must have dealt with these questions in writing, I relied on her to understand the questions as well as I or anyone else could, and to answer accordingly. I think her response answers the question appropriately.

The quote isn't an answer to the question, which asks why there are three pronouns. It would also be helpful to have an answer that would be based on internal evidence in the text itself, rather than relying on communication with the author. I assume this is not a situation where it's completely impossible to figure out anything about the pronouns and sexes based on the text itself -- it it were, that would make this whole aspect of the book some kind of stunt or coy joke on the reader.
