> And why assume I'm a he? I'm curious. Why do you make this a talking point when you are, in fact, a he?

  Do you know my gender identity? I don't believe we've ever met in real life. There's a big gender bias in tech already, and even within anonymous HN I see this in comments all the time where everyone is assumed male and few ever point it out directly. If we want balance in tech these kinds of assumptions need to get chipped away to make others feel welcome. It's the same thing with race, sexuality, etc.

    edit: ugh, nevermind. your ridiculousness has nothing to do with gender bias.

      The form of a man? My point is there's no sex field next to my handle... It was just assumed. I'm guessing that you googled me to even start this discussion, and even then you have no idea what my gender identity is. These biases are the types that keep tech a men's club and make it hard for women to want to be around 99% guys.
