At the company I’m working at this summer, I’m the only intern programmer who is female.  Whenever I meet someone new who realizes I’m a programmer, they usually end up commenting at how lucky I am, because “software companies always want to hire women!”

Makes me feel like people in the industry will always see me first for my sex, and second for my technical abilities and accomplishments, if at all.

woman is a gender not a sex god damn it

what you said. though, this person is equating “female” (a biological sex) with “woman” (a gender presentation), so her problem isn’t that she’s female or a woman, it’s that people perceive that aspect of herself to be the most important thing. that being said, if she was biologically male and presented as a woman, she would still have this problem, so it’s still what you said.
