Bug Description
See attached screenshot. I clicked the link to twitter user @czajkowski and her account is protected. Hence, the green bird was not able to extract her recent tweets, and threw an error with a message that was written with the assumption that every person on Twitter is male.
Using "them" instead of "him" would be a proper fix.
Please fix this before the International Women Rights group starts to protest against the green bird.

I agree with using "them" instead of using him/her - since not every person on this planet is him or her too (hint: Transgenders)
