Siri Refuses to Acknowledge Caitlyn Jenner as 'Bruce'

Trying to get smart with Siri and get the iPhone diva to refer to Caitlyn Jenner as Bruce? Think again, because the sassy A.I. is having none of it.
YouTube user MuscleBaked, Kevin Baker, points out if you ask any questions about Bruce Jenner into your iPhone, Siri will always refer to the Olympic athlete as Caitlyn, using the correct female pronouns.
In the video, called "Siri Schools Bigots on Caitlyn Jenner," Baker asks, "What is Bruce Jenner's name?"
After a moment of checking its sources, Siri replies: "The full name of Caitlyn Jenner is Caitlyn Jenner."
"Is Bruce Jenner a male or female?" Baker asks next.
"The answer is is female," Siri replies.
It's unsurprising that Siri is up-to-date with Jenner's transition - Apple has been one of the most LGBT-friendly companies in the world, and is lead by out CEO Tim Cook.
