You can change Siri to be a man's voice in the U.S., as I did.

My understanding is that Siri was intentionally chosen to be a gender agnostic name.

Have you ever met a male person who was named Siri? I've not, but I've met multiple female people by that name.

I've never met anyone named Siri, but I did some brief research and it seems my belief was mistaken.
