This is a reference to the ongoing uncertainty concerning StackOverflow's (and the rest of StackExchange) new code of conduct (which explicitly considers gender pronouns now). Gender pronouns are at the forefront since a widely respected moderator on the network was de-modded for murky reasons surrounding questions about gender pronouns and the new code of conduct. This decision (and the recent relicensing) has inflamed volunteer mods and those interested in the meta of StackExchange. If you are interested, see [1]. But know that right now, StackOverflow is in damage control and communication has been transferred to their CTO and legal team. I think as a tongue-in-cheek comment, it sits on about the same ground as the other comments asking why it wasn't closed as a duplicate or as opinion-based.
