As I type, normally, on my iPad, the word Male will automatically correct to be capitalised, but female won't!

Could i ask for replies with both the words 'Male' and 'female' in them? Obviously don't start a sentence with them. I want to see if it's just my own treacherous sexist tablet, or a bigger thing.
Thanks.

N male female

Mine does neither

AnyOldPrion · 27/03/2019 15:07

My iPad autocorrect does the same. It’s annoying.

It always capitalises Male but not female.

Not happening currently, but it also tries to insist there’s a gap in transwoman on occasion.

She's female and he's male and the capital of the Maldives is male.

Cloven · 27/03/2019 15:22

Does anyone else find their iPhone refuses to learn the word "transwoman?"

I delete the space it inserts automatically every time, but it still won't accept that I want to type it that way. Just like with swear words. The bloody thing should know I'm not talking about ducks by now.

RepealTheGRA · 27/03/2019 15:35

Mine also helpfully inserts a gap as well and I adjust it every time.

picklemepopcorn · 27/03/2019 15:47

I'm female, husband is Male. The capitol of the Maldives is Male.

cattycattycat · 27/03/2019 16:02

I have a non sexist android Grin

AngryWolf · 27/03/2019 17:19

The female of the species is deadlier than the male! Nope, just you!! Wink

NoraEphronsneck · 27/03/2019 17:42

She's female. He's male.

Dinneratbreadsticks · 27/03/2019 17:46

I am a female, female, female
I will never be male, male, male

Android phone.

LassOfFyvie · 27/03/2019 18:31

She is female; he is male.

The capital of France is Paris.
The capital of Scotland is Edinburgh.
The capital of Germany is Berlin.
The capital of the Maldives is male.

The only people who need be offended are the citizens of the Maldives.

Whatisthisfuckery · 27/03/2019 19:39

I am female, he is male. I’ve tried this with my bluetooth keyboard, the phone keyboard and speaking into the dictate function. Well done iphone.

AwdBovril · 27/03/2019 19:46

He is male whereas she is female.
It would appear my Samsung tablet is less sexist than some.

Grimbles · 27/03/2019 19:50

I am female he is male

It defaulted to capital when I added a full stop but when I deleted and retyped without one it stayed lower case.

WisdomOfCrowds · 27/03/2019 19:51

My iPad once corrected "menstruation" to "men's trial". It's definitely a tool of the iPatriarchy.

ErrolTheDragon · 27/03/2019 20:47

If it wants to make male into a capital city, it should damn well do it properly and change it to Malé.

hipsterfun · 27/03/2019 22:30

The only people who need be offended are the citizens of the Maldives.

I’m identifying as Maldivian for the purposes of taking offence at this.

LoafEater · 27/03/2019 22:39

Women are female and men are male.

No sexism on this phone!

ErrolTheDragon · 27/03/2019 22:48

Recently my iPad capitalised reading, but didn't just then... actually I think I typed re-Reading ...ah, there it goes. That makes no sense whatever.Confused
