You say “many in the community”. How many? How many examples exist of the use
of “bigot” to describe the rejection and attempt to revert? Ben indicates in
his comment that people have accused him of misogyny and sexism, but I have
(refreshingly) seen none of that here. Are random commenters on the Internet
part of the community?

This is the difference.
To you: “should gendered pronouns be used in documentation” is a *maybe* not.
Should a member be shunned after a misunderstanding is a *definitely* not.
To many of us: “should gendered pronouns be used” is a *definitely* not. And
should a member be shunned after a misunderstanding is *also* a *definitely*
not.
Keep in mind: there is absolutely no evidence, thus far, that the member was
removed (shunned) from the project.
I hate to drag this on, but it is quite important to be clear about the facts,
and I am happy to be corrected if the error is on my part. Or, better still: I
would favour the call to wrap this up and move back to technical matters.
