Siri Corrects Anyone Who Calls Caitlyn Jenner 'Bruce'

(CBS SF) -- Apple's personal assistant Siri doesn't always get it right, and sometimes she can be downright mean (just ask "what's zero divided by zero"), but this time Siri is being applauded by transgender advocates for standing by Caitlyn Jenner.

Now anyone who asks questions about Bruce Jenner will be receive an answer that replaces her old name with Caitlyn.

Ask "How tall Is Bruce Jenner?" and Siri responds with a Wikipedia page attached saying "Caitlyn Jenner is 6' 2" tall" -- or ask "What gender is Bruce Jenner?" and Siri replies with "female."

It's a big step forward since earlier this year when Siri gave homophobic answers to Russian-speaking users who asked "Is gay marriage normal?"

Jenner received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at ESPN's annual ESPY ceremony Wednesday night, her first formal award since announcing her transition.
