I recall reading many years ago about a woman who had to change her name to be male to get calls.

That is in contrast with a few years ago where a man changed his resume to be of a black lesbian and started getting calls.

What kind of résumé highlights that the applicant is a black lesbian?

This sounds more like a porn movie script. “Hardcore All-Girl Positive Discrimination XVII”

lol you really are not afraid someone's going to press a cancel button on you? based.

Hah. I’m saying the idea that a man could pose on their résumé as a black lesbian sounds more like a male fantasy scenario, because that’s not how professional résumés work at all.

Where do you even put the lesbian part? College extracurriculars?

easy, you put it right under your photo with your pronouns and twitter handle. exhibitionist don't have any qualms about such sort of behavior

In the USA at least it’s highly recommended not to include a photo, even. It puts the employer in an awkward position if you give unsolicited information that they’re legally required not to consider.

photos in resume are not common in North America (and are probably grounds to have your resume tossed honestly)

It was, I believe in the professional organizations and also in a cover letter.
