One of the issues with how these things are handled:
* good faith is assumed of the CoC writers
* bad faith is assumed for people who oppose/criticise the CoC
such that:
* any opposition (or criticism) to the CoC is itself an offense
a pretty chilling and despotic approach, worsened still by the fact that the individuals behaving in this way mightn't even have any real authority or approval in the first place, and very little in the way of response to feedback outside some small ideological group (very much talking about the covenant here).
these actions are usually justified with the kind of arguments that fallaciously treat groups of people as homogeneous "identities", in effect a multi-generational rob[bing] Peter to pay Paul.
