I know what happened. Is it a stupid, unnecessary fix? Sure, probably. But that doesn’t mean it’s political. Trans people simply existing is not a political issue.

Scrollone@feddit.it 3 days agoHmm I don’t think you really understand what happened.
The developer wrote a comment (not visible to the end user) using the male a form.
A random person opened a pull request without any useful changes, except for changing that comment from “he” to “their”.
The developer rejected that PR because it’s politically motivated and it doesn’t add anything else.

Right, except that’s not politically motivated, and is a useful change for people reading the code, both for women and non-binary people.
