I think the other feature of these two camps is that they tend to see the opposition through the mirror of their own preconceptions. I took the pull request rejection at face value: "trivial change; denied". I don't agree with the policy, but I did not sense any overt anti-gender-parity agenda in the action.

That the author of the pull request viewed this action as a militant attack tells me, with some measure of certainty, to which camp they belong.

It's a matter of degree then. Saying "doing work to change pronouns isn't worth it to me" is one thing - you may find the benefits of that too trivial to be worth your time.

Rejecting (multiple times) work that has already been done for you leans much more in the direction of some sort of agenda.
