From 69b3367f6c987b36b98937d8f446f75c5dbc000a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felipe Contreras Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2021 14:11:09 +0000 Subject: doc: avoid using the gender of other people Using gendered pronouns for an anonymous person applies a gender where none is known and further excludes readers who do not use gendered pronouns.
