I had previously noticed that the maintainers of GNU Octave and (in part) GNU Guile are captured by anti-feminist trans activist narratives, and recently found out it's the same with GNU Guix.
Now I wonder if it's the whole "GNU Assembly" that's captured by that sort of ideology, since it seems to use the Contributor Covenant which notoriously refuses to acknowledge sex class oppression.

If so, that spells trouble for the future of the free software movement. Trans activism is built on anti-scientific and IMO even anti-humanitarian principles. It's highly dogmatic and extremely hostile to those who disagree with it.
The homepage of the Assembly makes all sorts of claims about non-uniformity and respecting everyone and yadda yadda but all of that's just meaningless words if women are going to be hounded off of the community for expressing feminist viewpoints.

@bonifartius I wouldn't go that far, I think they have good intentions on some level. However, as the saying goes, the way to hell is paved with good intentions, and I think that's what we're seeing in the GNU Assembly. It's a male-dominated group of people who have effectively institutionalized a weird new form of sexism, all the while considering themselves highly liberal and progressive.

i don't give people who act bad the benefit of doubt anymore. from my point of view it's "us vs. them" now. i didn't choose this, but these methods will never stop otherwise. that they use the name "gnu assembly" alone is a warning sign that they see their organization as kind of representative of gnu as whole.
i'm constantly pissed at almost everything though ;)
