There's also the fact that a huge part of sexism’s persistence historically has come from immediacy.
Fact is, you can usually instantly see someone’s sex from a glance, so stereotypes and prejudices kick in before you even know the person.
Institutions were built on that. Norms, dress codes, division of labor, even laws. In the world where that visual cue simply doesn't exist, sexism would be structurally crippled.
Institutions would struggle to enforce gender roles, because you can’t even easily separate “who’s who” without asking.
A lot of gendered assumptions in jobs, politics, and religion that exist in our reality, would not exist just from sheer impracticality of enforcing them.
In the end, sexism might still exist, but it would shift from being a visual, daily experience to being a structural or cultural thing (religious doctrine, inheritance laws, “men should do X jobs”, even if nobody can spot the difference at first glance), and it might be weaker and more secondary, with other bigotries like racism or classism surpassing it in importance and enforcement.
