In regards to Fae's query about gender participation at the NYC conference.
I counted 37 females of 89 individuals in an official group photo of
participants up on Commons, or 41.6%. I offer no opinion if any of those I
counted at women were transexual. It was a simple count.
From a very cursory peek at photos of the opening day
crowd for the
keynote, it seems that total attendance was probably in the 125-ish
range.
I am not sure if those who appeared in the group photo were a
representative, random sample of participants, but they were a majority of
those who were there, it would seem.
I think we could say that "about 40% of conference participants were
female."
That this is not a question asked of registrants is a bit of an absurdity
for an organization obsessed with the "gender gap" at En-WP, in my opinion.
