@luna I mean if you think about it, being inclusive of an oppressed minority is actually somehow exclusive of the oppressive majority and we can't be doing that
@luna I've got a couple recent commits in said maintainer's OS, and I'm considering submitting a PR that would yoink them right back. Sure, I'm fine using the previous pronoun, but dude, not everyone is, what are you doing.
@luna what he means is he doesn't want to alienate the type of person he likes. Which is pretty sinister
