Yeah even if there is a worthwhile footnote, that * signals that "there's a catch, uh oh spaghettios"
If you're shouting out Non-Binary spectrum, Xenos, Agender, or others too just say so. If we're talking trans folk, there's no asterisk needed. If you are looking to include men, what's the point of shouting out the women, just thank all contributors. The effort is nice but that bit of the execution is pretty flawed and opens up way too much discussion that gives the bigots a platform to yell on.
As a non-binary person myself, I actually hope the asterisk isn't meant to refer to me. I get offended enough by the common "women and non-binary" phrasing. But to literally include me as a footnote under "women"? If I was a women, I wouldn't be non-binary.
Not to harp on KDE too much here. Even in queer spaces, enby erasure is annoyingly common.
Entirely fair and valid! Apologies for making it sound like that would be a good thing. Thanks for your input on that.
