Do you really think that telling me, born amd bred in England, that my paper 'needs a native English speaker to look over it' is respectful?

I don't think it's respectful. It's totally unacceptable if the reviewer just ticked the box because your name didn't look English enough.

And this is something that blind peer review could prevent. At least until people stop being biased

True, if blinding could actually work. Papers would have to be very self contained. No narrative between papers.

As someone who's not published a first author paper, I'd be much less worried about publishing if I could double blind

It's truly sad that you are worried about publishing your first paper. It's an indictment of science.

I doesn't help that I'm wading into a heated evolutionary biology argument, but I am definitely not the only person with these reservations

I see. In that case people's bias against specific ideas may be big hurdle. Suggest friendly reviewers. Editors use them ~50%/time.

I'd also suggest that you not be afraid to exclude reviewers you know have a major bias or conflict of interest. Wise when used sparingly.

Difficult when so many people have bias without even realising it themselves though.

Yeah, we really all probably do.

Certainly. That's why I like twitter. I can learn other people's perspectives.
