Nitpick, but in my opinion an LLM is an "it", not a "her" or "he". Using male or female pronouns risks anthropomorphizing them which can lead to unhealthy outcomes.

FYI in Chinese he/she/it all use the same pronoun "ta" when spoken.

Well, my LLM is a "he".

Ditto for pets.

Well, I would say your LLM is a "he" just as much as your laptop is: not at all. If you call the laptop "he" that changes nothing.

For animals he/she does make sense, because they are male or female. An LLM is neither.
