RE: Ladies of Steemit, Volume 6 | Can I Get a Witness?
Sorry, the way I phrased that was confusing. I did see their profiles and check them out--I just meant how we know that only 2 are female, if there was a study, did someone go through and manually check profiles, etc. When I did my study looking at follower and posting rewards counts I had to manually go through and check profiles one by one so I'm wondering if someone else has already done that work.
Yes, in short - I checked every single witness profile for possible gender identification. I also spoke with trusted sources and a couple witnesses who are familiar with the community to triple-check that the two I identified were legit + the only two.
@limabeing has a point, that hiding your identity for any number of reasons would take you out of consideration for Ladies of Steemit, simply because I don't know you're a lady. And, I'd never want to "expose" someone whose gender is their business.
