I do not doubt that, JZ. Because people are LITERALLY THE WORST.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I remember (but can't hit the right set of Google terms to call it back up) reading an article by an MTF professor in (memfault) science, who was kind of appalled to overhear remarks in the halls by colleagues gossiping about the new guy and how great his most recent lectures/publications had been, and that he seemed to be a lot smarter than his sister who'd been around the year before.
There was something very similar to that in some articles and a recent memoir written by an MTF English professor at Stern College. (There was a lot of talk about this in the Jewish press, since Stern College is the women's college of Yeshiva University, which is pretty much THE school for Orthodox students who want to get a good religious education as well as a good secular education, and some of them were really not comfortable with a trans professor.)
Wow, that wind map is super cool. I could kinda gaze hypnotically at it all day. But what it tells me is that it's a rare quiet spring day for me, and I need to get outside and put some arrows in a target.
I know I get lots less respect as a teacher, but I'm up against the double, because most people don't respect women as musicians either. And to be honest, my chops aren't nearly what the SO's, for example, are. But I do a lot of encouraging young women to play. When I started guitar lessons, it was a huge freaking deal for me to be female and a guitarist.
And any way, at this point, I know I'm a good teacher, so screw 'em if they can't figure that out eventually.
I HAZ THE CODEINE!
Also, azithromycin.
Good. Now get some rest!
Yay Tom!
Did you manage to avoid potatoes?
Whoo, codeine!!
So if it's all about a woman's voice, why is it that men get credit for saying things online that women say repeatedly without acknowledgement (or worse, a hostile response)? Does male typing have more "base"?
Men are just so much more...authoritative. It even comes across online!

4 is way too small a sample because what if the female "professors" SUCKED?
What you want is something like a real professor delivering the lecture behind a screen, hooked up with a voder like Laurie Anderson uses to pitch higher or lower vocal ranges so the students code the voice male or female or undetermined. Then you'd get some interesting results.
