She, and show some respect. Honestly I hope I'm active enough at 73 to go cruising around the world in my yacht.

No, it's a reasonable assumption given the actual Unix writer demographics and given the somewhat non-descript first name.

But absolute proof that a poster hasn't clicked on any of the links in the story --- all three of which describe Evi as female and the Wikipedia bio including a photograph.
