What are its preferred pronouns?

I can’t tell by the names.

The article uses "his," and if you know how mainstream articles nowadays use these pronoun references, you can easily guess what happened--despite the ambiguous names (Ryder, London) that the parents (or whoever) chose.

(Mother Maggi says, “I’m not deciding what my kid wants to wear and how to behave when it comes to the things he likes,” but she would probably ban a pro-Trump hat that wasn't being worn ironically. We must have standards!)
