    It's not what needs to be said. It's what needs to NOT be said. Nobody
    needs an explicit "code of conduct" to guide their behavior (or face
    increasing levels of penalties as judged by The Council...ooohhh!!!).
    And nobody needs to be told a computer OS website and conference events
    are "welcoming nurturing safe spaces for everyone".

    Fedora DEI page:
    "Our key focuses are to engage, empower, and celebrate the contributions
    of women, LGBT+, BIPOC, and people with disabilities in Free and Open
    Source projects and communities."

    gag. Contributions by females, queers, jigs and disabled people have
    always been welcomed in software... on the technical merits of the contributions.

    But overwhelmingly, straight White males have created the world's
    computer technology, and apparently that FACT needs to be "corrected" by shoving blue-haired dykes in our faces. Pathetically, the straight
    White males that started these distros and technologies are social
    weaklings, and are allowing DEI and woke sickness to be plastered all
    over their distros.

    I made an account on the Fedora page and I was given the option to
    choose pronouns to be referred by. It was disheartening but it was
    clearly an option.

    The last time I filled out something at the doctor's office they had a crap form like that also.

    I can't imagine being such a spoiled brat that you would get offended
    that the doctor didn't address what is an obvious guy as "miss" during
    the check-up you've waited hours for. The fact that people are going
    along with this is bothering me immensely. Mostly, it is because when
    the authorities come along and tell us that we won't be able to buy and
    sell unless we accept a chip in our foreheads or hands and renounce
    Christ, few if any will resist. They didn't resist the vaccine, they
    didn't resist the mask, they didn't resist the pronoun garbage; why
    would they resist the Mark?

    I skipped the vaccine and had my useless, Chinese made, N0 muzzle to get
    me into CostCo, but how do you 'resist' the pronoun garbage?

    By refusing to refer to a man who claims to be a woman as "she", for
    example. Or by refusing to tell people my pronouns, when it couldn't
    be more obvious. I'm just glad that it's never come up in my life,
    lest I be accused of a "hate crime".

    What amuses me is the 'White non-Hispanic' category. Are they trying to
    imply Hispanics aren't white?

    Are they white? I don't consider them to be.

    By refusing to address people who believe they are the opposite gender
    by the pronouns associated with that gender. Also, by refusing to use
    made-up pronouns like ze and zir.

    Since Hispanics include people who have no European characteristics
    whatsoever, I can imagine why they are not considered White.

    I consider white Latinos white. "Hispanic" is a language group, not a
    racial
    group.

    And they are Spanish/Indigenous descendants.

    every day!)

    I don't think I've ever had the opportunity.

    https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/hep/guidance/superseded/49cfr26.cfm#sec.26.63

    "Hispanic Americans," which includes persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican,
    Cuban, Dominican, Central or South American, or other Spanish or
    Portuguese culture or origin, regardless of race;"

    That's a FHA document but I believe a similar definition applies to all
    federal agencies. So, if a junta deposes Sheinbaum and she flees to the US
    does that make her Hispanic?
