I for one am very glad you decided to contribute!

I think if you make these assertions you might want to bring context.
As it stands it reads a little like "poisoning the well": you seem to
imply the CC is bad because allegedly the author has done bad things in
the past.

And that assumption by those people would be, to the best of my
knowledge of the actual facts, incorrect.

Just to clarify, gender identity and expression refers to who you (feel
like you) are. Sexual identity & orientation is about who you are
attracted to.

This is not uncommon in the context of harassment cases.

This reads like hyperbole. If somenoe makes a complaint about me, I
will be contacted by the maintainers. They will discuss the nature of
the allegation with me, and hopefully I will be able to say "Shit, I had
no idea what I did had this impact on someone else in the community.
Thanks for bringing this to me. Any idea how I can avoid this in
future?".
I don't see where the problem is there?
