Another one for the taxonomy:

"Social Justice-Driven Developer" - Spends most of his/her/their/xis/xer day trolling through the documentation, commit logs, code comments, and e-mails trying to find latent gender bias (when not doing so on discussion boards like HN.) Occasionally makes passive aggressive one-line commits to correct gender pronouns, spurring long internal e-mail chains that ultimately call more attention to the gender of the female/trans/nongendered developers on the team than otherwise. Sometimes causes people to get fired or become the target of widespread Internet outrage.

I don't think you were specifically accusing me of it, but I didn't set out looking for anything. I read the text, and I found their wording to be jarring. I don't think anyone is trying to push an agenda with their wording — they probably didn't even notice it. I slip up sometimes too, and I appreciate a helpful reminder when it happens.
