Notes

"Mon" is linked to the noun that follows, not to the gender of the person talking.

e.g:

Léa says: "My (masculine singular) brother is called Tom" (Mon frère s'appelle Tom.), because brother (frère) is a masculine word.

Tom says: "My (feminine singular) sister is called Lea" (Ma soeur s'appelle Léa.), because sister (soeur) is a feminine word.

The French translation for “my (masculine singular)” is mon.
