“Can you” as in “are you able to” or “should you”?

Anyway, yes on both counts personally. It’s like reviewing resumes with identifiers removed.

Otherwise, one would be judging the content with preconceived bias. IMO it’s a slippery slope to, and belong in the same subset as, so many other identity-related issues in society e.g. tribalism, identity-based politics, discriminition based on identities like race, etc
