Re: Does it make me sexist against my own gender...

Yes and no.

A lot of people become wary - often irrationally wary - of new situations resembling an old one if the old one is loaded down with bad memories. The trick is to not let it take over you.

Sexism would be saying that due to your own experiences with female bosses, you think all women are bad bosses and any good female bosses are outliers/exceptions to the norm. Or, sexism would be that because you had bad female bosses, you will be hostile and uncooperative with this new one just because your new boss with a woman, because "you just know" they'll be bad.

It's all right to be wary or nervous about something which has given you bad experiences in the past - just don't let it take over your worldview or reactions. Go in trying to make the best of the situation, regardless of your own reservations. :)
