Gender is not a boolean
- bradleyjg 12y agoWhy are you asking about gender in your call for papers process to begin with?
- bitboxer 12y agoDon't worry. We did a blind selection. We did not know which gender the person has when selecting the talks. We just wanted this for our statistics to get a feeling if we needed to work on the CfP while it was open to get the outreach we wanted it to have.
- bradleyjg 12y agoOkay, but how does that fit in with the non-binary view of gender? If it came back 90% male and 10% everything else, I'd guess that you'd conclude that you need to do more outreach, but would you come to the same conclusion if it came back 50% male and 50% female? What if it came back 90% no choice and 10% everything else?
