I will never get such articles? Why does somebody need to know of which gender is somebody? People should ALWYAYS be measured by their performance not by their gender.

When you're contributing to a project, performance is only one important thing. It also matters whether you are furthering the goals of the project, communicating well with the other members, and even if you have the social skills to lead a project.

  that counts to performing good in a job, too. It's just I hate people who have biases against, anything. What I really wanted to say is that I don't get these articles, people should never evaluate people against their outside. no matter if an IT job or anything. the outside appearance has nothing todo with how you really are. and i dislike it so much. I mean yes I know that some groups of people can't go well with others, but thats just something in our minds, because of our past.

That is not how the real world operates. Unfortunately. There is a reason many startups are teaching awareness of unconscious gender biases.

Because it's a well-known factor for discrimination, to the point of limiting people's opportunities to perform in the first place. Until there's rough gender parity that resembles the distribution of gender in the general population fairly closely, you're likely to see significant structural inequalities that hinder open participation in the first place. Myself, I view this as a big problem and think it needs to b researched and actively mitigated. I'm a man, but I score much more like a woman on transgender-related psychological scales despite not taking hormones or engaging in SRS. When I play online videogames I sometimes identify as female (based largely on whim) and I can't help noticing that my female avatars have to put up with an exponentially larger amount of random bullshit from other players. I'm not cool with this, but neither do I want to live in a world where people feel the need to obscure or neutralize their gender, since that's a fairly fundamental part of most people's identity.
