Nothing to do with their sexual identity or gender. It's the fact that the average person doesn't know how to do it. Most people working in a company stuff have IT that sets things up for them. If they can do it themselves, then hell, that's great and I'm happy for them. But I wouldn't assume anything because of someone's gender or sexual identity. I think that's silly.
If you care for a personal example, the company I work for has IT which give us work phones. The IT department set the phones up themselves. Because of the way the phone has been set up, there's incredibly little that can go tits up and there's a lot of security built in (no admin, enforced long passwords, probably more that I'm forgetting).
I'm more than capable of setting up my phone and having it be secure myself without IT doing it. Maybe she can too. Is it a usual thing for IT to thing up in a business setting, (unless you're a programmer) probably.
Even if she works for a firm, which is likely as she looks a bit young to own her own practice, they did not provide that laptop. That is clearly hers. And unless they are a fairly large law firm, they do not have a dedicated IT guy, let alone department. I'd bet Trump would be hard pressed to get a large firm to work for him, given his reputation.
I mean, this is all speculation. How can you be sure that she couldn't just request that laptop? I don't know the circumstances.
As far as institutions go, there's even fairly small ones that have at least 1 person who's job is IT, not to mention it is also possible to outsource that position entirely.
I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong about this entire situation but that doesn't make me a sexist like you implied :/
