What happened to male and female symbols

I have jotted down my reason for gender in my first post that it helps others to address ,a poster to which they are posting replying , using the right gender.
Some times when you call someone bhai that turns out to be nick of a bahan and other times when you call someone auntie , it turns out that the auntie is an uncle.
That is it .

Not only that, but the wrong gender was used with inappropriate and provocative language, under an assumption that the gender displayed is what the person actually is, which is, as you know, not true all the time. It was not only wrongfully assumed - especially by new members - that the gender was correctly displayed but in heated discussions, it was taken to a whole another level.
