Yeah. I have a meeting next week with a student I haven't met in person, and I was looking at their first name and wondering is that a male or female name because it could be either. I happen to have known both men and women with that first name. And then I realized: it really doesn't matter! Who cares?? All it would affect is my preconceptions, and who the hell needs that?
Baby steps, eh? D'oh.
