The Code of Conduct's reflection of gendering, and how it applies to (mis)gendering is referring to this type of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=3DTransphobia&oldid=3D773143= 601#Misgendering_and_exclusion I think the code of conduct is pretty clear about it: We are committed to making participation in this project a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of [...] gender, gender identity and expression [...] "Gender identity and expression" is pretty clear: trans-exclusionary behavior doesn't belong here. It's very simple: respect peoples' preferred pronouns and *drop this subject*. This topic is over, and that's been signaled as such from the maintainers and many other people in this community.
