> systemic bias

Ehh, I think there's a good chance the translation algorithm is guessing the likely gender correctly the vast majority of times here. I could see some improvement, though; it suggests

he is a hairdresser

he is a secretary

he is a florist

which are all professions that are far more likely to be women than men, so I'd certainly like to see those adjusted to default to female. Most of the other ones reflect the real world pretty closely, though.

> real and valid societal concerns

These are not real concerns unless you are living in such luxury that you have absolutely nothing else to spend your time being worried about. Bear in mind, we're talking about the translation being "biased" here; we're not talking about the real world and real biases in careers.

> Progress is made by suggesting improvements to things across the board

Modern-day "progress" is a bludgeon being used to destroy Western cultures so they can be remade in a form that permanently privileges the financial elite. Not interested.
