From 21303f2838c9cd57c30086bf68b7a0f1b19b537e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuu Yin Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2023 23:27:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] doc/misc/gnus.texi: change text to more neutral/inclusive language Explicit or implicit sexual language is potentially unwelcoming, unsafe, and/or offensive to some people.
