    In this scenario, I think the pronouns should be changed regardless of the gender of the devs. Here’s a screenshot of the suggested changes, which are quite minimal. The reason why I think this should be changed is because this is in the build instructions for a project that many devs are needed. Hence, they should at least be open to discussion rather than shutting it off completely. And honestly, this is a small change. Their reaction to this made it more political than the commit itself, and honestly the commit was not political in my mind. Their reaction also demonstrated how they respond to contributions, and an ambitious project like this will need a lot of contributors. If their leadership keeps this up, it is very off-putting for people to collaborate with them.
