It does however feel weird in the same way that "odd female something", "odd muslim something", "odd socialist something", "odd atheist something".
Leaving out details that are not relevant is IMO smart because it helps the reader to avoid prematurely making up their mind because of irrelevant details.
So my take is tptacek should be allowed to write it and we should be allowed to point it out.
And one more thing: my respect for tptacek has been growing even if we clash from time to time in various settings.
