It think the discussion of this issue has been thoroughly explored in your other post on the “free and open source” community. People know about this now. Is there anything else to cover? All that will be talked about is either “wow, that was an overreaction from the Dev, they seem close-minded” or “you should separate the tech from the developer” or people (bigots) just saying they think he made the right choice.
Agreed. Most of us really do not think about this shit as often as we should. I know I am guilty of assuming he when typing. I know because I make an effort not to be. And notice how often I need to correct text. Being older than many developers. I just grew up with the assumptions. So like many my age needed my attention drawn to the societal indoctrination.
People politely pointing it out is important. As is people volunteering to help correct older documentation.
This is true. I agree that developers should use more inclusive language in their documentation. I mostly just thought people saw the other post already.
I was only commenting that this post has been posted already twice, once in a closely related community. I have already had to argue with people supporting the Dev’s choice to be bigoted. I will just scroll past, just not excited to see more transphobes crawl out of the woodwork.
Certainly is not exciting. Not all of us follow every community/server though. Thanks for fighting the good fight. Cheers. (BTW love your username, I can hear the screams. 😆)

The discussion is stale.
I just found out about it from this post. If you dont want to see the post, keep scrolling.
And if my opinion matters, that dude can get bent. It is such a small request to be inclusive. Such small requests can be so much to so many.
