Pronouns
When I set up my profile as a manager it asked my gender - I chose female because..well, I am. However, when the manager makes a statement in the game or anytime my gender is referred to, the game uses "he".
Just curious why bother asking gender if the game cannot use the correct pronoun? Females actually do enjoy this game and generally do not like to be called "he". Any chance of this getting fixed in a future coding update? Thanks! PS - LOVE the game...slightly obsessed and very grateful to have it since we're missing the season. |

We try to fix them as much as we can, but we have about 20 years of text built up referring to everyone as a "he", so it's hard to fix everything at once. I know when we first opened up the genders a couple years ago we made a big effort to to at least fix the intro messages when you start a game, but there's probably other places that need a fix.
What I would suggest is in places where we have missed the update, if you can post either a screenshot of the message or the exact text in question (as well as the context, ie. if it was in a game recap or a message from a player asking for an extension or whatever), and we'll do our best to correct that going forward. |

the conspiracy theorist in me cannot help but think that this brand new account might just be someone trying to prove a point. I'm probably wrong and in that case, welcome to your new addiction

I do know of at least one other woman who plays the game. “They” is a perfectly good substitute for “he” in 2020...

Wasn't there a woman that was from the Oakland area a long time ago?

I thought so. I remember she was pretty active back in the early days of my OOTP experience

Funny how that happens. You see some folks here year after year and you see others around for quite a while, then they fade away. Sometimes they return with a flourish, albeit temporarily, and others you never hear from again. I wonder what happens to them, aside from the obvious.
