I built a similar one to test job descriptions for non-inclusive language[0]. These tools are helpful , particularly for people who are not native English speakers. I use open source tools like retext-equality[1] and retext-profanities[2] to help catch non-inclusive language. Inevitable there will be strings that are mislabeled or just plain wrong as many of these tools aren't capable of understanding context ("communicate clearly" is often flagged as "clearly" can be superfluous or patronising in certain contexts).

Also - kudos for open sourcing it. I look forward to contributing and using the library.

Edit: I have just noticed that this hasn't had any commits in 3 years, and no releases for much longer than that. OP: are you the author of the library? It would be good to hear what the plans are for it.
