Dr. Gebru is a she
- luckylion 6y agoI don't think her gender matters, it's about Luke Stark's peers that she has support among. They happen to also be her peers, but that's not the point. If she was in a different field, or not in academia at all, but supported by his peers (which wouldn't be her peers, but might be her fans, or subordinates or whatever), it would be the same result.
- spoonjim 6y agoAre you daft? You can use “he or she” if you don’t care or “she” if you do but to say “he” is patently incorrect.
- luckylion 6y agoLuke is a male name. It's about Luke's peers. They are his peers (if they weren't, it wouldn't matter who has influence on them). It's not about their status as Timnit Gebru's peers, so her gender doesn't matter and "his peers" obviously referred to "Luke Stark's peers".
