    For sure. There are always outliers and opportunity for more granular classification. Doesn’t mean the classifiers we have now are wrong, just not complete. I think it wouldn’t be as big of a concern if we didn’t relate male and female so closely to man and woman.

        Sure, but it’s sounding like guns kill people. People don’t kill people. We use skin color to discriminate against people, but doesn’t mean you can’t use it as a categorization in other ways. Anything can be used to discriminate against somebody. Credit score. Types of clothes they wear. Whatever.
