Besides all that drama, being sensitive to gender is important and awesome.

yes, we should be sensitive to it, but let's say this story came from a straight white man. if you were github, would you want someone toxic working for you? someone who's accused someone of being transphobic over a form they made? someone who's toxic in Slack with all the other members? someone who starts writing bad code (failing at their own job)? no, you wouldn't. just because someone's a minority doesn't give them the right to be treated above others. it's a little something called equality.
