    Hey, hi, trans person here. Calling my mere existence “political” is not “just an opinion”. Rejecting a PR to change “he” to “they” in some code comments is also just a stupid hill to die on. No singular they is basically baby’s first edgy opinion.

      Sorry which are we talking about the rejected the PR, DHH or kling?

      I suspect its DHH just making sure

      Edit: Found it

      Kling rejected with: “This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.”

      For SerenityOS documentation to use a singular they to not assume gender.

      Edit 2: For the record, this is even more stupid than you think. The documentation was written with gendered language for a male reader only in mind.

      “Hey, I fixed your bad writing”

      “POLITICS?!1?!%?!”

      The tweet about Kirk has some firm context with this. I’d call it pretty dang likely that kling is a fan…
