For people who haven't met us: Brandon is a man with long hair, and I am a
woman with short hair.

These kinds of avatars are usually heads, head-and-shoulders, or stick figures
of the whole body, so some designers use long hair, earrings, or a skirt as a
shorthand for "female."

I ask our designers to figure out how to make a more gender-neutral icon
(perhaps dispensing with the requirement that it look like a person).
