Anecdotal. I am male but my name in various countries around Europe (and probably world) is female, and people by default think I'm gal when they communicate with me over messenger, emails, etc. On one occasion I was asked to be talker on some event that is empowering woman in IT. The woman who asked me to do it didn't even look at my profile where my profile pic clearly show that I am a male (beard, moustache and stuff..). They've only seen the role I am on, experience and probably had some female name database where they filtered me out. On more serious note, I got contacted by every FAANG(M) company in last 6 years and got hired two of them through it. Nice tool, but not for every sector. Edit: words
