> The idea of a native (probably white) English speaker lecturing them on it being sexist or non-inclusive is repugnant to the extreme

It really is amazing how those people don't see it that way and instead think they are really helping anyone. English was forced on a lot of the world. Now it's sort of happening again, in a different way and with infinitely less violence, but the justification remains the same: to civilize the savages.
