Look... I certainly (particularly verbally) will probably use "he" a lot more than I should... And no one cares.
But if someone makes a PR changing these into "they", I would reply with "shit, you're right, this is objectively better, thanks for your work".
Instead, these contributors get their PR shut down with the most terrible, supremacist excuse. That's the problem. There's the true idiot.
Obviously. It was a nice small PR to fix a typo and a pronoun in a readme file. This is the kind of change where you just press Accept, Merge, and go on with your life.
