Workplace Discrimination in Software Engineering

Hello!
My professor and I are working on a project about discrimination in software engineering. We are based at Seattle University and really need responses on our survey. If you work in software engineering, we would really appreciate if you took the time to take this survey. It means a lot!
Thank you!

Why do you only ask for discrimination based on gender identity and not for discrimination based on sex? This looks a bit biased.

We actually had a pretty long conversation about this. Someone's sex is not necessarily visibly apparent and people's gender is more often what they display outwardly. That being said, if there was a situation where someone was discriminated against based on sex, they could write that in the "Other" space. Thank you for your question!

I feel deeply hurt and discriminated by your explanation. To me seems as if there is a try to hide the discrimination against women.
