Just to be clear: should Code of Conduct related discussions happen on guix-devel or some other place? I assumed guix-devel was the place. > Furthermore: > > [email protected] (Taylan Ulrich "Bayırlı/Kammer") skribis: > >> Lastly, a trivial data point about possible effects of inclusivity or >> exclusivity, should our Code of Conduct mandate obeying a certain >> position on this ideological split: [...] I've run a poll asking >> women how willing they would be to contribute to a project whose code >> of conduct disallows the use of sex-based pronouns > > This is obviously far from the reality of the project’s code of conduct: > > https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/CODE-OF-CONDUCT Sorry, I think there's a misunderstanding: The COC rightfully says that harassment based on gender identity is unacceptable. And "the use of sex-based pronouns *for people who disidentify with them*" (emphasized part is important; was truncated where you quoted me), otherwise called "misgendering", is often experienced as harassment. So as I understand the COC, it does in fact disallow the use of sex-based pronouns for people who disidentify with them. That's why I was worrying. I think it's fine to ban misgendering, on the condition that, should a female-born person feel insulted at the use of feminine pronouns for a male-born person, that too should be banned, effectively forcing neutral pronouns so the project takes no sides. I hope this clarifies what I meant. It's effectively all I wanted to say; the intention of the longer mail was to clarify the background of the position, so people don't get the misconception that the issue is neatly split between "tolerant people" and "intolerant people".
