Non-technical discussion should just be banned.

That is literally the comment that started all of this. Prepare to be convicted and sentenced in the court of public opinion.

I am serious, the only comment by the dev in question was “This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.”

Non-technical is not the same as political, not even close. I explicitly chose that term because it's not considered subjective by anyone, but especially not by the people who think gender-neutrality is somehow NOT political. If you claim that it is, they just quip back with "a person's right to exist is not a political issue but a human rights one", which of course was never even the debate, they just twist things around to fit their narrative.

All words are subjective. "Non-technical" is not really the magic word you think it is. Could you clearly define it? I can't personally.
