Please don't let this be a thing, sigh. I don't want to be further entrenched in identity politics.

You're just throwing words around. There's nothing about this that has anything to do with identity politics.

You may not be interested in identity politics, but identity politics is interested in you.

All of us are deeply involved in politics whether we know it or not and whether we like it or not. - Nashville, 1975

When I release an open source project, I want it to be open. So I absolutely don't involve politics when promoting free, open software.

Politics are involved whether you like it or not. The idea of open-source software is a deeply political one.
