As I hope you can see from my post, I too have my hesitations to the bot and if it's the right approach to whatever we're trying to solve here.
I think I share your disappointment in people being dismissed simply because of their gender — whatever it may be, and I see how my quoted comment could imply that I did dismiss objections because they came from men (But then again, I do engage with the objections in the following paragraphs).
I think you're correct that word-choice and language are very much under scrutiny in tech nowadays, and that it's hard to be in a position where you raise concern upon what's agreed on as ideologically correct (It's not just tech, by the way, you'll find this discourse other places too).
I'm curious to learn what reasons for not wanting this bot / or don't mind the "hi guys" expression there is outside of those I raised in the post. And don't worry about reliving the debating. I'm not here to further justify the bot or make it my mission to convince you to change your opinion. But I do want to learn about your perspective if you care to share it.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Thanks for your input @Turle Biker Girl!
