... an attempt to conceal the sex of the first name from borderline-sexist
SF readers who won't always pick up a book by an unknown female author.

Gee, I never thought of myself as borderline sexist. But since I don't always
pick up books by unknown female authors, I guess I am. Does the fact that I
don't always pick up books by unknown male authors (or actually, authors
of unknown sex) mitigate this? Do I have to quit buying books by known
authors so I can buy books by unknown female authors (I can't afford to do
both) if I don't want to be tagged as sexist?
