I think this is a great change! One nit-picky thing about this wording: "there are some gender differences on where men and women are more likely to fall on the spectrums" When we describe the facets and gender, we try to avoid language that just talks about "men and women" as gender is also a spectrum. An alternative description might be: "facets statistically cluster around genders; for example, Abi's facet values are those frequently seen in women"

Thank you for the suggestion! That makes a lot of sense to change the wording to reflect gender as a spectrum. I can make that change.
