When it comes to inclusion, I look at where the rubber actually meets the road.
If a project welcomes diverse contributors and doesn't foster an environment that alienates them (which, in part, you can evidence by their continued presence and contributions), that seems way more worth its weight than academic quibbles about the language used in documentation.
Are cis and trans women contributors speaking up about any problems? If not, then is the issue really important? I'd rather see a project not actively alienate cis and trans women developers - a higher bar to actively meet than you'd think - than to be religiously attentive to "microaggressions" and the like while doing very little to actually accommodate them as contributors.
- gremlions 2y agoReferring to women as "cis women" as if we are somehow a subset of our own sex class is also alienating and unwelcoming. It's awfully disrespectful and reveals a fundamentally misogynistic view of women.

- gremlions 2y agoYou are of course free to believe whatever sexist gibberish you like. Doesn't make it true.
