Chara and Frisk both canonically have they/them pronouns throughout the game. I don't know what kind of wank you're trying to stir up here, but calling Chara and Frisk she/her in a fic is as jarring to me as when authors decide to call all the Steven Universe gems they/them in fic. Yes, they're ambigiously-gendered, yes, the game plays a lot with inviting player projection. You still get through the whole game and they're always they/them. In addition to that, the game has other they/them characters, like Napstablook, which makes it clearer that Undertale uses it as a gendered pronoun instead of only for ambiguity. It doesn't talk a lot about gender. You could imagine Chara and Frisk as girls, agender, demigirls, bigender, genderfluid, whatever. But they're still canonically both they/them, make what you will of that.

Femslashex has always included nonbinary characters. It also, if memory serves, requires you to offer like three different fandoms to improve matching? So Chara/Frisk can't be the only thing this person is offering.

I don't know what this person's deal is. I don't demand people disclose or claim genders in order to have shipping preferences, for the same reason I don't demand receipts of histories of trauma in order to like darkfic. I don't have a problem with a person following the rules on character offers/requests not wanting to use non-canonical pronouns for their characters. If getting Chara or Frisk with their canonical pronouns would offend you, maybe request canonically female characters instead.

AYRT just mentioned gender identities and said nothing at all about pronouns, what are you on about

Literally the opposite of what is happening.
