(I see that because of my mistake, this thread continued on both -project and -vote. If you think it's better to restrict it to either list, please say so.)
Hello Sam and others, I did not want to derail the discussion. As I wrote, I made those examples because I believed that they would help making my point understood. But I see that I obtained the opposite effect -- everybody focused on the examples and nobody seems to have got what I was trying to say. I am sorry for that. But no, I don't think that it was inappropriate to choose examples outside of Debian, because my point was exactly that this is an issue not specific to Debian and heavily connected to politics, thus politically loaded examples were right to the point. In fact, I thought they were the best examples exactly for that reason (and also because they are examples that everybody is familiar with). Anyway, thank you for clarifying that using people's preferred pronouns is a requisite for being welcome in Debian. As I read them, neither the CoC nor the Diversity Statement are explicit on that. Maybe it would be useful to make it explicit?
