The gender or sexuality or ideology of a person are not essential to advancing computing. They are actually distractions that take away useful parts of the brain by diverting motivation, attention and cortical estate from thinking about computation.

Rational thought has no gender, nor is it exclusive to any gender. Computation is a means to an ends, not an ends itself

Since “algorithmic bias” concerns the difference between statistical reality and political reality, you cannot trust mathematics to not get you in trouble.
