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
I’m not sure I understand french well enough to follow what you mean- is the feminine gendered version also what you’d use to be gender neutral?
No, I meant in developer options you can select between masculine feminine and neutral gender, I don’t speak french so don’t know.
Ahhh, gotcha. That’s super cool!
