Have you ever asked yourself why the tech industry is so full of white and Asian males? Maybe they are just good for this job? You want to get extra points for just being born a woman? Why so you think is this fact relevant to your writing? If you are good and work speaks for itself- keep it the way it is.

If someone starts calling you Sir, Mr or something similar- correct him/her. But don't inform them about your gender beforehand. There is no such thing as positive discrimination. Discrimination is always discrimination. I came from a small village and people often tried to get some extra points just because of the place I was born in.
This was insulting for me be. Ask yourself if you really need those extra points and if are willing to tell people you actually need those points. And won't you regret that once you retire? Will you be absolutely sure all your achievements in your work were because you were that good or simply because you were a woman?
