Mis-gendering of Women in Poker is being addressed

[Shells]

The You Count, Be Counted initiative is a call for all female players to ensure they’re correctly gendered on the Hendon Mob and Global Poker Index.

The team at Pocket Queens is a leading advocate for women’s rights in poker and is working on having women count even more by posting the proper gender on the poker data-collecting platforms. Pocket Queens wants all women to check their Hendon Mob listing and contact the site’s support team if they’re gender isn’t there for all to see.

Included in the link below is a short video to explain the efforts put forth.

Very interesting Shells.
I guess it's for Live Poker players, not on-line one?

I did a quick search (to be sure I was right ) and this does apply to both live and online results.

That is so cool...thank you Shells! I'm listed for the tourney I played at the Horseshoe in March. There also some corrections that need to be made and I'm following the instructions in that link you provided.

*edited to add: PS - I also found out I placed 25th and not 27th. LOL!!

I find it sad the women need to do this. You would hope they were reported correctly in the 1st place.
