Because they also posess good English skills they know that "his" in this context is clearly not read (by any but agenda-fanatics) as gender-specific and is a normal and acceptable form of conveying a posessive - without using unpleasant nd unnecessary aaberrations like his/hers or the excruciatingly incorrect "their".

There there.
