Default capitalise feminine deity (She) as well as masculine in spell chk

In office spell check my attempt to capitalise female deity ( ie, , She, Her
etc) is corrected, whist male deity is not ( , His, Him etc)

I believe this is sexist and needs to be changed. THere are many thousands
of people worldwide who acknowledge a female creator as well as a male.
