In the session manager, yes:
r=.(#q)}.1!:1 1: wde_0_ 'setreplace e *',q=.'Sex(M/F): '
Sex(M/F): M
r
M
in the console, no. See also Ric Sherloc's writeup on this pattern:

if you read the comments you can see that at least some of us think
user-prompting like this is poor practice and should be avoided:

Despite that, however, you'll also see that I provide a drop-in framework
for REPL (Read Evaluate Print Loops) for those who require it:
