This is extremely sexist. Not only do they assume genders (and only assume two) but they are relating competency based on genitalia.
I read the paper (1) and they used Doximity, a data gathering company, to provide them with gender + age data. Some of it is self reported but a lot is "gathered" from other sources.
The sort of sexist nonsense needs to go and we need to realize that you can be any gender you like or believe without it effecting your professional competence.
