Well, now I’m embarrassed. I had been operating (apparently for decades) on the assumption that Hobb was male. Which is pretty bloody sexist on my part. I apologize to you and M. Hobb. (I interpreted the “he” correction as a reference to my use of the word spay, not bothering to confirm that it was made in earnest. The “identifies as” was meant as a weak joke. Which seems to have spectacularly failed. Again, sorry.
