Exactly.  It's 100% irrelevant to computing.  So why DO so many mentally 
ill gender freaks insist on interjecting their delusions all over the 
tech world?


I came across this idiocy a while back:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
About Me
My name is Adam Blank, and I am a Teaching Professor in the Department 
of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech.

Identity
I am non-binary, and my pronouns are they/them. I am neurodivergent and 
queer. I have generalized anxiety disorder and clinical depression.

https://www.countablethoughts.com/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the websites of every Caltech course this drama queen teaches he puts:
* his pronouns
* links to that "Identity" statement
* "Diversity, inclusion, and belonging are all core values of this
    course."

So students are forced to know he's sick in the head.  Academia allows 
all this, of course, so as to not offend anyone.
