When it comes to studio work, I've often wondered how many possible female artists ther emight be who simply aren't recognized as such due to androgyny in names. For example, I work on terrorcore with a female that goes as "T-Bone." Nobody would be able to infer sex through looking at any releases. They'd have to know her. Sexism exists in techno just as much as anywhere else so, frankly, I could see people not divesting that info if they didn't need too. Nobody I've dealt with has ever asked me for a "picture" to go along with what I was doing. But, that's not the case for any female I know that produces for the most part. Some humor it, some don't.

Hell, even when real names are used, they could be confusing. Liza N Eliaz. Male or female? How about Lee Newman?
