I contacted pilowsky for clarification. His suggestion is that we get rid of the sexist language like "his clubs" in bidding explanations.

I tried asking GIB for its preferred pronouns, it didn't give a clear answer.

I just checked the code, this is the only explanation that has "his" in it, out of over 400 textual explanations.

It may be stretching the meaning of "explanations" to describe the words that GIB offers about its bidding, but it's good to know he doesn't assert his male privilege too often!

These messages aren't used only to describe the robot's bidding, they're also used for the human partner's bids in the same situation. Since we don't prohibit women and non-binary people from playing with GIB, we'll fix this in the next update.

Maybe you could fix some of the many other reported misleading explanations too, which offend players independent of gender.
Starting with the reticent explanations following Unusual NT and most of the atrocious Cappelletti developments.
