Code Year, do your example problems really need to be about writing code to enforce gender binaries? I know it makes for an easy way to model conditional statements, but please think before you do this shit. This whole thing is supposed to be about lowering the barriers to entry, and here you are putting up new ones and perpetuating the stereotype of geek/tech spaces as being unwelcoming environments for anyone who isn’t white/male/straight/cis.

Especially in light of all of the bad history around gender in geek culture, open source projects, etc, there’s really no excuse for this kind of laziness and inattention in an otherwise very well-thought-out and designed project such as this.
