Ruby on rails edit form's select field does not populate saved value. What can i do?

I have a model which has column => gender:string. When i open edit form, initial gender value does not populate true. Form always populate with first value. What can i do to solve this? By the way I'am trying to save same value as gender label.

<%= form.select :gender, options_for_select([['Erkek', 'erkek'], ['Kadın', 'kadın']]) %>

this will do

<%= form.select :gender, options_for_select([['Erkek', 'erkek'], ['Kadın', 'kadın']], form.object.gender), { include_blank: true } %>

second argument to options_for_select is the selected value - form.object.gender

include_blank: true is to add an empty option at the top

[['Erkek', 'erkek']] - in this array Erkek is label and erkek is the value
to save same value as as label then use a flat array. ['Erkek', 'Kadın']

if your options are simple, you can use

<%= form.select :gender, [['Erkek', 'erkek'], ['Kadın', 'kadın']], { include_blank: true } %>

select
options_for_select
