I'm frustrated at how frequently gwern is assumed to be male. If you aren't sure of someone's gender, please use gender-neutral pronouns. So many of her articles have been posted to HN lately, yet I've only seen masculine pronouns used to refer to her.

Gwern is male; not only is Gwern a boy's name, making it a reasonable assumption, but he publicly declares himself as male.

For example:

What are you talking about? Gwern's definitely male.
