I'm sure he speaks highly of you too

He’s a she, GP…Andrea Jenkyns.

Honestly…tattoos and multi coloured hair? Unless you two are going to suggest that it’s sensible to not appoint people because you don’t like their tie/suit/shoes, might it not make more sense to judge on little things like ability and qualifications?

In thirty five plus years within the education system I can truthfully only think of one person I’ve known who, imo, has got to where they’ve got by virtue of ticking three diversity backgrounds rather than by virtue of their ability.
I’d also suggest that about 40-50 years ago there were loads of blokes gaining teaching qualifications and going into primary education because they knew that their gender alone gave them an advantage in the promotion stakes.
Fortunately that has been addressed, gender now plays little part - except perhaps in specific posts - in promotion and so it should surely be. Indeed shouldn’t we be striving for a world where race/religion/disability become barely noticeable unless they somehow have a direct impact on a person’s ability to perform the job?
