> Why is it that whenever gender and identity is mentioned in a technical community suddenly people start talking about "ham-fisted" and forced inclusions?

You answered your own question; it’s a technical community. Centering political activism is counterproductive to the fundamental telos of being a technical community.

Existing members, unsurprisingly, push back against colonization of their community by those more interested in gender ideology or identity politics than technology.
