Sealing to Parents by gender
It would be a nice feature if I could do an Ordinance Ready search for Sealing to Parents by selecting Female or Male. As a Male it is only pulling up Males for me. I would like to take some Females.

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
[ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]
You are not alone ...
The request, that we be able to "Print", the "Temple" Cards, for the opposite "Gender", from ourselves, is a FEATURE that MANY (Member) Users/Patrons have yearned for and requested.
We can ALREADY, "Print" the "Temple" Cards, for members of the opposite "Gender", to ourselves.
We can do that ourselves, in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch", in the "Ordinances" 'Tab', of our Ancestors.
We can (both, "Reserve"; and,) "Print", the "Temple" Cards for whichever "Gender" we desire, Male; or, Female; as, there is NO restriction.
But ...
That Said ...
What you request is SOMETHING that "OrdinancesReady" was SPECIFICALLY designed NOT to be able to do.
Please let me explain ...
Please be aware that the "OrdinancesReady" feature/function/facility is ONLY, really, for a quick; and, easy, process of, FINDING; and, PRINTING, the "Temple" Cards, when one is going to visit the "Temple", that day or the next, when one DOES NOT have ANY "Temple" Cards, 'on-hand', available.
The "OrdinancesReady" feature/function/facility is certainly NO substitute, for doing one's due diligence, well IN ADVANCE of visiting the "Temple" of, FINDING; and, PRINTING, the "Temple" Cards, for one's Ancestors, to have 'on-hand', available; regardless, of the "Gender".
Hence, the reason, that we ONLY get "Temple" Work, for people, of the SAME "Gender", as ourselves, is a DESIGN Feature of "OrdinancesReady".
Although, I totally understand your request.
Plus, I particularly understand, that your request pertains to, "Sealing to Parents"; and, of course, could even be extended to, "Sealing to Spouse".
I would humbly suggest that, your request, may not be considered as appropriate, in view of the intended Design.
Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':
How do I find family names for the temple with Ordinances Ready?
Where it states, among other things;
Quote
------------------
Ordinances Ready is designed to provide family name cards for the person signed in to the website or the Family Tree app. For example, if you are female, it only searches for ancestors who are likewise female so that you can perform their ordinances.

Ordinances Ready finds names for you that are your **** (that is, male names for male users and female names for female users).

Who is to say things will not change in the future ...
We can bit live in hope ...
I know, that this certainly does not help/assist; but, I hope this gives you some additional, insight; and, perspective.

@Stephen van Dijk . Thank you for your query. As already stated you can only get your own gender on ordinances ready. Please select your female relatives fromthe temple ordinance list and print them in preparation for going to the temple.
