@LoneSimba @mwaitzman This change is a quality-of-life improvement for gender nonconforming people to make us feel a bit more at home, for me, there's not much more to it; I don't go around looking for stuff like this to make PRs for, I just come upon it [0].
Do you want to make a few people's lives just a bit better for little-to-no effort? I do, and that's all I'm trying to do with this: I don't want to "turn you gay" [1] nor am I trying to erase white cishet [2] men; I just want to get on with my life knowing I've helped others.
[0] In this case, I discovered this on the orange site and I'm pretty sure this is my first PR of this nature.
[1] That is probably impossible.
[2] Cisgender and heterosexual, a.k.a. most of the programmer population.
Sidenote: It'd be nice if you were more clear: telling me to "just stop" without explaining why isn't a very good opening to an argument. Explain why you don't like it.
It's a minimal change that does not alter the meaning of the text nor does it reduce its comprehensibility but at the same time helps a few people. I'm confident the inappropriate comments will be ignored and this will be merged swiftly.
If it was originally like that I'd be fine with it and encourage it for the increased efficiency (significantly less letters), but changing it now is just stupid pandering We already have an ungodly amount of political correctness infecting the U.S. as it is. Please don't force it onto our repos now too... In your kind's terms, let this be our "safe space". Don't make us have to deal with your stupid bullshit here, please.

I read: "Don't make us have to consider the fact people that aren't identical to us exist. Let us remain in blissful ignorance."
Where do you get your information / news? Can you verify it elsewhere? (A habit of mine is to DuckDuckGo the same piece of information, but staying unbiased so results from both sides can appear. Not Google since they probably "customize" your search results)

You read PC, I read respecting others.

"Stupid pandering" that helps make some people feel at home. This has already been mentioned to you thrice, try to think of this like you run a program in your head or write a proof in math. It can be helpful to actually understand the other side's thought process, even if you disagree.
