If there's one thing I've learned as a browser-engine dev: Everything is political! The most mundane things (e.g. how we answer "what time is it?") has the weight of historical politics behind it. Software freedom is a political project, you can't "leave politics out of it"! It makes a lot more sense to ask "how is this political?" than "is this political?". Because it is!

Technology is political. If your project or organisation has a “no politics” clause, you’re saying you’re happy to exclude people whose very existence is political in our societies. It’s only defensible if you’re coming from a place of privilege where the dominant politics are to your advantage so you can take them as given. There is no such thing as “no politics”; there is only “no politics other than the politics of the status quo that I benefit from, which I’ve internalised as normal.”

If you view changing documentation to use generic “they” instead of “he” text as too political to be acceptable, then I’m sorry but your project is deeply unserious. “The generic user is a man” is a deeply political statement, and hiding behind “we’re apolitical” is bullshit. https://hachyderm.io/@Mara/112718515777208791
