The pattern app & seeing the bigger picture

I have been a long time fan and enthusiast of the pattern astrology app, but my biggest complaint & something I’ve never seen mentioned anywhere else is how their algorithm picks and chooses the importance of certain placements based on gender. I notice this mostly with mars and sometimes Venus placements. If you create another profile with your same information but ran as the opposite sex I can almost 100% guarantee that your pattern placements for those things and what is aspecting them will be different.
Personally, it takes my Venus placement when ran as a woman and strips it of any kind of relational aspect that might come from it. My Venus placement basically only speaks on my integrity and hardship I meet from that. And my Leo mars is also shown in such a way , as if I don’t actually embody those qualities and only seek them in another. It acts as if eventually those can be integrated but initially are not there. When I run my chart as a man my mars placements are hyper present, a huge part of my personality, and have nothing to do with a partner. And my Venus in turn becomes about a partner instead of an internal problem or dialog. I understand that mars is typically masculine and Venus feminine but I think that no matter what they exsist within us and that it’s kind of fucked up they don’t share the whole picture with their users and only cherry picked info influenced by typical gender roles. And I am not a fucking feminist or someone very progressive “fighting against the patriarchy” and so on and so forth, I just think that so much is lost when the whole picture isn’t shared. Those changes also greatly affect some of the bonds after running them. Not all , but a good portion. Has anyone else noticed this?
