Hi :) Yes, people can doubt. If they don't scratch the surface even a little bit and only look at the photos of the BoD. One member of one of the sub-committees is unlikely to assuage their doubts. Actually the pseudo head-of-documentation is also female but she doesn't want the title of leader even though everyone in the docs team treat her as one and she is an inspiring natural leader.

No one can doubt that we are open, independent from gender, nationality and color of skin. IMHO, this openness and how TDF members should treat each other is even in our statues. If you are aware of any case where people were treated unfairly, feel free to directly ping me offlist, so we can investigate. And about elections: Sophie is female, and she has been elected into the MC. :-) I really think that we as a group, as a project and a community can grow together and get to know each other much better if we use all means of communication, including video. I think everyone here is respected, no matter how she or he looks.
