I messed up and for that, I am sorry.
Mistakes, unintentional or otherwise need to be corrected. I misgendered Xiran and I should have been more diligent.
An Apology for being Non-Inclusive
Dearest readers,
I have no excuses. I messed up. When I wrote a newsletter on 3rd April 2023, I didn’t check the pronouns for one of the authors mentioned in the article. I callously used she/her pronouns when I was supposed to use they/them pronouns.
I have made the edits, attempting to make amends.

I am so so sorry Xiran Jay Zhao.
The good thing is I am not popular. There is a 100% chance Xiran did not read the article, therefore saving them from my ignorance.
I promise to do better moving forward.
I’d like to thank Stefani H. Stefani left a comment on LinkedIn highlighting the pronoun error.
I am sorry, once again.
Regards,
Binati
