Yes just like I as a Black person have to grit my teeth about all of the DI&E initiatives where we change branches from “master” to “main” and don’t use the term “KMS Master Key” because it’s “offensive” when I’m not aware of anyone of any color giving it a second thought.

That's the subject of one of the top HN posts of all time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26487854

I like to think I'm doing my small part by not going back and renaming branches in all my old repos despite github prodding me to.

Because feminism ruins everything.
