Gender changes

Someone has been changing 'female' and 'male' to 'Female' and 'Male'. The help uses lower case and the computer doesn't recognize the two as being the same, making it hard to see the proportions.

I've changed the ones that affect me back, but I'd really rather not have a editing war.

Could the Powers That Be Teach the poor computer the insignificance of casing here?

(Now I am aware some people have tried to make casing variants significant in similar contexts, but that’s not, I think, something to encourage.)

I have put in a RSI, but I thought I'd mention it here, too.

NB (for myself, later): the RSI https://www.librarything.com/topic/338040

If you go to an author page like:

The help text for the gender field (which appears when you start to edit the field) says:
"female," "male," "n/a" or enter as free text

It seems silly to distinguish between Female, female or FEMALE, but the statistics for the field do exactly that making it less easy to see how many "Female, female or FEMALE" versus "Male, male, MALE" authors you have.

I'd also like to input Male / Female rather than male / female, but don't do it for exactly this reason. (I do a lot of data sanitation at work, so I'm all too familiar with the True/False, true/false, t/f, 1/0 blah blah blah chaos this can cause).
