I would avoid gender-izing business or product names. There is a trend in the tech industry to remove gender and racial terms from our dictionary.

examples: factory girl was renamed to "factory bot". https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_bot/issues/921

github is renaming `master` git branches to `main` https://www.zdnet.com/article/github-to-replace-master-with-...

I wonder what kind of backlash would be faced had the Nintendo product not existed and a console manufacturer proposed, in 2020, to name their handheld the "Game Boy".

Less than the above is for sure.

How did we progress from "two genders" to "unlimited genders" to "no genders"?!
