He's probably talking about the same thing that made you continue being 
heated after the fact you were told to calm down and you are not wasting 
any single opportunity to continue answering every single email in this 
thread and all the subthreads that continue to appear.

I don't want to look insensitive but I think we are revolving around the 
same issue over and over again and honestly it's bothering me.

Not the discussion itself, which has a profound meaning and it's a deep 
issue, but the way it is taking place and where it is taking place.

It's also extremely sad to me to see many unanswered questions in the 
help-guix mailing list, which might or might not include questions from 
trans people that are willing to use the fantastic software we all 
collectively maintain and which would help them have a better life, and 
yet we are talking about the detail of the detail here for no real 
reason: this conversation does not have any practical purpose.

Also there are hundreds of issues open in guix, which don't happen to 
deserve the attention this discussion has.

I don't think this conversation is going to reach anywhere, and I would 
like to encourage people to spend their energy somewhere else until we 
really start having a different mindset on the issue. As we were 
suggested to do.

I don't think this is a topic for `guix-devel` mailing list. If it is, 
please let me know and change my expectations accordingly.

My suggestion is: if this is an actual problem with guix's software, we 
should open an issue for this, for those who are interested on actually 
trying to improve the situation. If it's not a problem with guix, then 
this conversation is just an exercise of ethical and intellectual 
bragging that is just uninteresting to me and more appropriate for 
social media.

Best,
Ekaitz
