Duolingo: Inappropriate Story Content for Children, Concerned About Impact on Child’s Learning

I’ve been using Duolingo for my 7-year-old child, and during the two-week free trial, I noticed that some stories include examples that I find inappropriate and potentially harmful to children's "gender identity formation." Despite being an otherwise enjoyable and engaging app, I am concerned about these specific instances and do not think it is suitable for children unless necessary adjustments are made. I have already submitted my complaint in writing to Duolingo but have yet to receive any response. I strongly urge the developers to review and revise the content to ensure it is appropriate for young users, as I cannot recommend this app for children without these changes.
