Can you please explain which of these actually constrain your freedom of expression, with examples?
Do you send kiss emojis to your open source contributors? Call them little b*tches or refer to transgender people by a pronoun you know they are uncomfortable with?
Some corners of tech culture are really toxic, so I understand the need for CoCs. Now, what exactly is the problem with the lines you quoted?
- s9w 8y agoI'm not sure but I might have sent a (male) coworker an emoji before that could be interpreted as "simulated physical contact". And who knows what made up pronouns some coworkers secretly want to be used.
- raquo 8y agoYou quoted it yourself: > This includes deliberately referring to someone by a gender that they do not identify with Key word is deliberately. Secrets not covered.
- s9w 8y agoFair enough. I would absolutely avoid someone at work who would force me to use a fantasy pronoun. Luckily these things are not yet common in Germany
