How’d they know it was a he

Maybe there's a specific person who keeps doing this and they wrote this error specifically for him.

Come on Dave sort yourself out.

You know this is a porn site then! 😂

You bitwise OR into the higher end bits the user id, in which you have already encoded the user’s gender. (For which you have a util method to extract. )

What the hell kind of second-rate DBMS doesn't encode gender into its primary keys SMDH!!

Don't be silly; it's obvious that there are different error messages for each gender expression. Error logs need to be detailed and specific in order to be useful.

I like seeing instances where people have used "she" as the generic pronoun.

They were talking about me. They got my pronouns wrong. It's ok though, because they will have many more opportunities to get it right.
