I agree broadly with this. I’d suggest that “if you are a female reader” feels less depersonalising than “if you are a female”. It feels to me like it is conveying the relevant criteria without oversimplifying people to just their gender.
That’s even worse IMO. WTH is wrong with women? (Except that it can be taken to exclude children, but I don’t think there are many 10-year-olds reading LW anyway.)

Thanks! Updated OP to “female reader”.
The use of “females” in the first line might as well be changed too. I’d just change it to “female people”, if I were you.
