People are judged more on their behavior than their gender identity or race.
That's probably true.
But you have to spend at least a little time with someone to judge their behavior.
The problem is that people are pre-judged based on their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or lack thereof, nation of origin, first language, and a boatload of other things purely based on these factors without any personal contact or observation of their behavior.
Hence the word prejudice.
Likewise, people take the misbehavior of one or a small group and and apply it to everyone with the same characteristic.
Hence prejudice and stereotyping.
And there are many people out there whose behavior can be described as: judging others' character based on superficial qualities such as gender presentation or race.
And my judgement of that behavior is that those people should be shamed and educated.
That's why I generally divide people into two groups: assholes and not assholes.
