But they aren't? Nowhere in the document it says this; in fact, it says the opposite - that they don't want to make a moral judgement.

It also doesn't matter what your politics are in the Rust community. My personal politics don't agree with the majority of prominent Rust contributors either, and that's fine. It doesn't (and hasn't) stopped me from being able to use Rust for over a decade now. Ignore politics and just engage on a purely technical level, and you'll be fine.

Largely true, apart from the trans issue. Refuse to agree a man is a woman because he says it's true, and you're a bigot
You don't have to agree to treat people with respect. Using someone's preferred pronouns doesn't hurt you.
It doesn't hurt them to be addressed by their sex either. You can totally believe what you like about your sex/gender but making me go long with it is different.
Men in women's clothes, acting and talking like women... whilst it's not for me, that part I can accept - we've had drag queens this whole time, so what? It's just being forced pretend the drag queen is ACTUALLY a woman, that's the only part I can't do. Everything else is fair enough
