Footnotes
gollark: But you *can* be blind to it in some contexts by structuring things so you don't actually know it.
gollark: Well, for conference organization, probably just do the decision about whether to have a panel or not (is that how this works) without the reviewers knowing stuff about the speaker.
gollark: Not just paying *more* attention to it.
gollark: Designing systems which are blind to this sort of trait entirely.
gollark: I don't really agree with "fixing" discrimination by just discriminating more in a different direction.
