So, I tested this locally and for the first time, immediately after using a variable named “gender”, it stopped suggesting.

I wonder if this is to prevent it from accidentally processing PII or PHI data. Maybe someone else who didn’t get their account on some kind of cooldown can try it with “birthdate” or “DOB” or “SSN”. I highly doubt this has anything to do with gender being a controversial or blocked term for political reasons or something.

A twitter post above says that Copilot also blacklisted words "communism" and "socialism".
