I'm not sure what you're trying to say, or why you're making a blanket statemeny of a point that is so blatantly false that above comments prove incorrect. It was relevant and important enough to the author to contact me, and they are apparently interested in having this discussion. They didn't need to engage in this discussion, but they felt it important. Just because it's not important to you, doesn't mean it's not important to a lot of others here. I would certainly avoid blanket statements like 'people are not interested in ___' - I'm not sure if you read the author's reply before yours, but I think what you clearly meant is that you don't care. Which is your right, but please don't put thoughts or words in other people's mouths, especially when there is dissenting evidence of your statements only a comment above. I'm glad you can feel it's not relevant. Unless you're trans, or a direct ally, you have the benefit of it not affecting you. Great. But I'm not the only trans person on this forum. This shit matters to us - matters to our allies, including, evidently, the author of the software - and it's our right, and sometime our obligation, to speak up. Get over it. :P You can feel free not to engage, which would have been preferred to your insinuation that nobody here wants to have that conversation - which is obviously and blantanly untrue, and born out of the privilege to not have it affect you.

(1) You're putting words in my mouth, (2) this discussion is completely off-topic, and (3) you managed to write a rather long comment without any question marks after starting with "not sure what you're trying to say". You could ask for clarification if you want any, rather than invent insinuations. The first point of my comment was to make you not feel like people don't care about your comment but indicate that this is just not the place for it, hence downvotes. You can take that as the positive message I tried to send... or not. The second part (that "I'm also not sure it's helpful..." part), I should just have left out, it was diving into the topic that I wanted to stay out of, and I suppose that's what most of your reply comes from. I guess the last subsentence of my comment was trying to steer it back, but I should just have left it at the first sentence. I'll not reply further in this thread because I don't think it's constructive for the actual topic that this thread is about. If you want to talk to me and actually understand what I wrote rather than the invented meaning, feel free to use the contact info in my profile. I tried to use yours to explain, but there was none. > Unless you're trans, or a direct ally This is not a war. Please realize that the vast majority of us are on the same team.
