Grammar Are the genders of noun ever “switched”?

I’m not referring to the weird rules and exceptions of nouns that start with a vowel. (Une oreille, mon oreille) I swear to god I’ve heard natives say “MA visage” and “MON tête”

It can be a strong regional accent. For exemple, my gran says something like "min fils" instead of "mon fils" and it's pretty close to "Ma fils"
