Language is extremely powerful. This is all part of the erasure (an integral part btw).

    Hmm I don't think you really understand what happened.

    The developer wrote a comment (not visible to the end user) using the male form.

    A random person opened a pull request without any useful changes, except for changing that comment from "he" to "their".

    The developer rejected that PR because it's politically motivated and it doesn't add anything else.
