Pay equity is and should be about helping unlucky people be more lucky. One cannot choose to not be a class that receives lower compensation inherently.

Looking forward the the HR role specializing in telling you that you are ugly but because of it you get a 5% pay bump.

Or the after interview meeting where your potential coworkers try and decide if they don't want you due to a skill issue or just because you are ugly.

Or ignore the physical human attributes and pay based on metrics and performance? I’m aware, unlikely to ever occur.

In aome industries blind interviewing is the norm, and it solves those issues quite well.

Anecdotally, I interviewed and hired an entire team during the pandemic and most applicants chose to go camera off. It’s turned out great.
