Switch to Gender Neutral Terms

Oh, check today's date.

I guess tomorrow someone will be offended that someone is making fun of their movement to rid language of sexism and patriarchy. ;)

Edit: but... the bot tried to submit the PR 3 days ago. So... not an April Fool's prank?

Anyway, the guy's not very good about hiding his tracks, he commited to this repo to test the bot, using his real account with name and face: https://github.com/inclusive-coding-bot/test_non_inclusive_r...

Looks like a student, trying to improve things and making some mistakes that are very much to be expected for a student project. Kudos for the effort, and I think they probably learned a good lesson in test data generation.

If it is, it escaped into the wild a couple days too soon. It's so bad I really can't take it as something serious.

It's just a poor-taste joke at the expense of vulnerable groups.
