Ok, I was looking at developer options and found this “grammatical gender” mean in terms of android device? Like, I tried selecting it and doesn’t seem to do anything…
Device is Galaxy A71 with lineage os 22.2, also my Galaxy A55 with stock oneUI 7 has it. (Both android 15) like what does it do? Just curious…

It won’t do much in english, but makes a lot of sense for french, spanish and other languages using heavily gendered nouns.
In english, “the user” is neutral. In french, you have “l’utilisateur” and “l’utilisatrice”, because everything including nouns are gendered. So you’re stuck misgendering half the population by default. This lets you address women as women and men as men.
Thats pretty cool! It’d be nice if there were a neutral option to but more choice is good! 😊
I think there is, you can choose neutral feminine and masculine
Thanks for this. My phone is in Finnish and that option has been incorrectly translated (“Kieliopillinen suku” ≈ “Grammatical family”, but family as in your relatives) and when I noticed it I wondered what that hell that meant and google didn’t help. Makes sense now.
Nice, this is interesting :3

It’s there just to get more refined data from you.
Pretty sure they already had that data as part of your google account 😅
The ultimate truths are difficult to swallow.
