Its suddenly occurred to me how ive been tripping over backwards for years to try and always call linux by stallman's preferred gnu/linux monicker but he wont use 'they' as someone's preferred pronoun.
That's fucked up when you think about it.

TERF & artist in residence at questioncopyright.org Nina Paley appears to be on the fediverse, via some proud-to-be-federating-with-gab instance.
I recommend not giving her any attention. Ignore her. Advise your friends in #FLOSS and #FreeCulture communities to ignore her. Do not use or remix her art. Avoid her works.
We ought to want our freely licensed works to be welcoming to all. Using Nina Paley's art even inadvertently runs the risk of sending a message we ought to be avoiding. #lgbtq
Ive seen a lot of chatter on and for weeks in the Fediverse that software freedom only makes sense if everyone can code.
People seem to forget that Stallman has proposed extensively that people ought to be able to contract, negotiate or otherwise work with programmers to get their desired features/fixes in code. There never was and never has been an expectation for most people to be programmers.
