Arborelia is clearly talking about legal/state rules in part of her blogposts. You can argue that the state rules aren't relevant here (IMO, Giovanni's observations support this argument), but it's not a "misconception" to think that the current discussion is at least partially about the legal aspects. > Specifically the social rules that we support trans people and we want > to include them.

I agree that we should listen to peoples concerns/wishes and accommodate them out of basic respect, but we can only accomodate people's wishes when those wishes fall within what is technologically feasible and reasonable. When a person publishes books under a certain identity, it is not feasible for *every* mention in every copy to retroactively be updated to reflect a new name. In a similar manner, it is (currently) not always feasible to rewrite git history to change historic names. I think we, as Guix, - should examine if/how it is currently feasible to rewrite our git history, - should examine possible workarounds going forward, - should move towards something like UUIDs and petnames in the long run.

I fully agree with you here, rights such as the right to free speech and copyleft don't mean that any action that falls within those rights should be free of consequences, especially when such an action excludes others, disrespects them or makes them feel unsafe. >> [...] kind regards, pinoaffe
