Remove gender recognition example #101

Automated Gender Recognition has been thoroughly shown to be fundamentally discriminatory against trans people. Given that, it's somewhat bizzarre to see a tutorial in how to make it "fairer" in a project aiming to reduce discriminatory outcomes from ML. I would really suggest (and appreciate it!) if the example was removed - it has no place here.

Dear Mx. Keyes,

Thank you for raising this important concern. As you rightly point out, the task itself is fundamentally problematic. Even if there may not have been maleficent intentions when the tutorial was composed, I agree that it should be taken down going forward. We will do so posthaste.
