All humans have biases, some only don't realize it.
Sure some people will not hire women, they are easy to identify and not the real problem. The real problem is that one resume sent out with an ethnic name, a female name and a stereotypical white male name will get more responses for the last case. Even though the content did not change. Very few of those reviewers will be suspected of being sexist or racist, but these sort of things are built into our culture. Shaniqua will be expected to be less competent than Sara who will be expected to be less competent than Steven. Even by people who do not realize they are doing it.
I have hired women and will hire them in the future, same as men. I will not however be told about about how they are delicate child like creatures who cannot possibly face adversity by you. This is the worst kind of misogyny, the kind that pretends to be on the side of women.
I am glad that makes you happy. The US dept of health is tainted by politics and more likely many of its employees have differing opinions.
Rather than insults you could try actual debate. I hope none of your friends or family have to deal with you in a situation where they are not sex and gender consistant.
Nice way to imply I edited it those articles. Rest assured I did not. Wiki is merely longer than an overly simplistic dictionary definition. Dictionaries often suffer from their extremely short form.
I graduated long ago, looking at your uid much longer ago than you.
It should also solve the inherent bias that people with long or hard to pronounce names face. I have seen people not given an interview because the possible interviewer was unsure how to say a name. That was not the only reason, but it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I am not sure revealing that much about yourself on slashdot was a good idea. Football or handegg?
Everyone regardless of sex/gender/race/ethnicity should agree that Perl is simply the best sysadmin scripting language there is. Let's just hope you are not a filthy emacs user, those people are basically subhuman.
For those whose genetic or social background makes them humor impaired; the above emacs comment was a joke. You guys are human, just weird.
The same or similar meaning. In this case they are similar, but not exactly the same. In our culture they normally have been considered to match up until very recently. Now it is far more accepted that they do not.
I have known women far more masculine than me, and I am the sort to think that only women and children lack beards. So they would not bring any diversity to the work force of all men. In that case an effeminate male might be more different and therefore even more different and qualified.
Our culture has passed that stage. Gender is defined by a culture. There have in the past been cultures that defined it more like you are speaking about now already.

Can I have that in cash?
I don't take bitcoins.
If prosody works for you, no reason not to use it.
They have gotten a lot better about memory wastage.
For only a couple users you would be fine.
They are, the full faith and credit of the USA.
Bitcoins have the network backing them as their source of value.
One of these is easy to replicate the other is not.
What do you mean lots of resources?
I have openfire running for hundreds of people, in a VM with 512MB of ram.
I have probably hired 10-20 people.
None using that method, but I would like to try it one day.
There is no such human.

No one as far as I know.

Most libertarian drivel is bullshit.
Like all ideologies they totally fail when attempted in reality.
Voice masking works fine. To prevent sexism in the workplace you terminate the problem workers.
You are an adult, expecting you to act like on is not outside the scope of what your employer expects.
The correct solution to that is to remove names from resumes all together.
Again the problem is the process and the solution is not an even worse process but a better one.
Then use some actual random function. A coin toss should be fine. That will at least be fair.
Also for fun, you should look up what a synonym is.

You can speak to someone and not know their sex. Smartphone apps exist that do nothing but this task.
Please elaborate.

Should be enough to get you started.
A simple real world example is anyone whose gender does not match their sex.
A better solution is to just pick the best candidate no matter what. If that means having to hide the candidates identity that is fine.
Only way way down on the list, and it is wrong.
Sex is biology, gender is a function of culture.
The point is to improve the product itself and freedom for the user not the developer.
If you can improve it and lock up those improvements the user loses the freedom to modify.
Our culture has passed that stage. Gender is defined by a culture. There have in the past been cultures that defined it more like you are speaking about now already.
I think you mean both sexes, gender is a different thing all together. Sex is defined by biology, gender is a cultural thing.
