To not like being described as a "female performer"

I have a hobby in a male dominated industry. I have been described as a "female performer" more than once whilst men are simply "performers" or "acts".

I'm frustrated by this because my being female has no effect on my performance.

What do you think? Would I be unreasonable to ask not to be "promoted" (I use that very loosely as I'm a beginner and amateur) as a female act when men arent described as "male acts"?

Well if they insist on describing you as a female performer, then you can insist they mention the sex of each pig. We don’t want them to feel left out. Grin

Obviously you’ll have to put up with the inevitable guinea pig Fleabag comparisons.

Oh yes, tell me about it. And it's a very insulting comparison - I would never keep my performers in such a tiny cage.
