    Hmm I don’t think you really understand what happened.

    The developer wrote a comment (not visible to the end user) using the male form.

    A random person opened a pull request without any useful changes, except for changing that comment from “he” to “their”.

    The developer rejected that PR because it’s politically motivated and it doesn’t add anything else.

      I know what happened. Is it a stupid, unnecessary fix? Sure, probably. But that doesn’t mean it’s political. Trans people simply existing is not a political issue.

      Right, except that’s not politically motivated, and is a useful change for people reading the code, both for women and non-binary people.

      Calling pronouns “political” is the dogwhistle they always use
