Alysdexia, 'some' is not the neutral version of 'they,' and is pluralized no matter what. 'They' indicates an ambiguity of gender- it's not inherently plural, which seems to be your point in your argument. Furthermore, tertiary characteristics that according to you indicate gender, like Toriel's eyelashes, are seen on someone who is unambiguously referred to as a male- Mettaton.

Not to mention Napstablook is referred to as 'they' constantly. You can argue that, as a ghost, Napstablook has no gender, but that hasn't stopped people before, so the fact that both Napstablook and Frisk (who is a human of flesh and blood, and thus generally automatically gendered) are referred to with 'they' (and possibly Monster Kid but I don't remember that as vividly) is particularly telling.

I think Chara is referred to with 'they' as well, but I wasn't paying an ungodly amount of attention to the pronouns when I was playing it. You could argue that Chara's blush markers gender them, as that's generally seen as a more feminine characteristic, but that's about as dumb as saying eyelashes gender someone, when both genders have eyelashes and, again, Mettaton is depicted with them (underneath his eye, the bottom lid) and is unambiguously referred to as male.
