> Because gender is such a strong part of people's identities Is it though? I guess for some, definitely. For others, like me, I think of my gender only momentarily during specific moments, and definitely not when I'm programming or learning something new. And it's very clear to me that when participating in an online course what really counts (for me!) is the ability of the lecturer to engage with the students, not their gender.
