Good luck @limedaring! You know me, but to weigh in: I am XX, applied three times (once as solo founder), got one interview, didn't get into YC, found my way to the Valley (from the UK) anyway. I intend to apply again in future if the startup I'm working on turns out to be the right sort of thing for it, and especially if I can team up with other hackers, especially a couple of people I've known a long time (last time my cofounder was non-technical and I had met him while looking for a cofounder). Gender balance or anything like that has never, ever been an issue for me with things like YC. Currently doing Women 2.0 Labs where it is a tacit issue, which would be interesting to contrast when I do go through YC. I know of another woman who is applying this round and has not posted in the comments yet.
