Is family masculine or feminine?

I know I could ask the “HiNative” App on my phone, but why not
put my language related question here?
Do you say “We can complain about our family but wouldn’t like
that anybody else says anything derogatory about one of HIS/HER
members”
HIS or HER? Which is right?

Neither, it's neuter: "... but wouldn't like it if anybody else
said anything derogatory about one of its members"
