"Let's not assume people using this are male"

"This is not a place for politics"

Wh.. wha.. what? Do they not even believe in more than one gender?

Yeah, the whole reaction to it is just weird and shows the actual issue here. I don't care too much about default gendering in language, because lots of people just gender based on their own gender by default out of habit, without any ill intention. In this case they could've just acknowledged it and changed it to a neutral phrasing for the next release, and no one would've even bat an eye. At that point it didn't even had anything to do with a non binary spectrum, but simply to acknowledge that not just men use the software. But immediately shutting them up and crying about politics really just lays out their agenda.
