He refuses to update the identification info for contributers? Why? It’s the least they can do for people who offer their time and expertise for the project.
Presumably he’d be happy to do so if they got married and changed their name, so it sounds like he’s probably a transphobe, right?
No, it’s when someone wanted to change docs to say “they” when referring to the user. I don’t think it was really necessary, but refusal to do that looks like a statement I don’t like.
It’s busy work. Reviewing it to make sure they didn’t fuck it up takes away time to do literally anything else. It adds zero value, it only has downsides.

I mean that is sexist tbf

I would say being more inclusive is bringing value.
There’s a massive issue with women being under-represented in STEM and little things like this only further cement that.
It’s casual sexism. I’m not suggesting they are intentionally hating on women.
Assuming it’s a man because it’s programming is fundamentally sexist.
What downsides would they be?
The downside is the time taken.

I didn’t label him a sexist. But that is a sexist act. Assuming a man because programming fundamentally is sexist.
The same like “gendern” in some german media?
