…nity/main Fix mentee registration form (Women-Coding-Community#248)
The original question framing ("do not identify as women") was negatively
worded and lacked context for mentors filling out the form. The new copy
adds a brief mission statement to help mentors understand the community's
priorities before answering, and replaces the bare "Yes/No" radio labels
with descriptive options that eliminate ambiguity. The aria-label is also
updated to remove the negative framing for screen reader users.

Description
The mentor registration form previously asked "Are you open to mentoring individuals who do not identify as women?"
with bare "Yes/No" radio options. This framing was negatively worded, lacked context about the community's mission,
and could be confusing for mentors filling out the form. This PR updates the question to lead with a brief mission
statement and replaces the ambiguous labels with descriptive options, making the mentor's choice clear and
values-aligned. The
aria-labelon the radio group is also improved to remove negative framing for screen readerusers.
