    Lmao there’s actually something kind of hilarious about a person trying to push gender neutral terms into documentation for a program called “Ladybird”.

    Did they want the project to be renamed to “Lady/Man/Thembird” too? /S

          For example developers or users could be referred to with a default male pronoun (if the user wants … he can …) when, and that might surprise you, women and queer people do exist and do in fact exist and might even use browsers or develop software. There’s no need to be exclusive.
