She got very cross about Turing saying the note should have had a (black) woman on it. 30 seconds on Wiki reading about Turing's achievements and then how he was treated could have saved her a lot of stupidity. Fundamentally not a serious person.

How dreadful. His story highlights more than any in our history how cruelly UK state treated queer people - even a hero who helped us defeat Hitler. A lot of my (well meaning and LGBT/inclusive) friends recommend her book and it always makes me cringe

Her analysis on things not accounting for women is fine. The problem is that she knee-jerks.
