> I try very hard to avoid gendered words like "guys" and actively work to remove other insensitive language from my vocabulary, and will nudge folks I work with accordingly, and recommend you let me know if I'm doing / saying things that should be stopped

I would definitely let you know that it’s wrong to “nudge folks” to conform to your own personal beliefs and chosen behaviors. You’re free to practice your religious beliefs in your own private life; don’t force them on others in your vicinity.

Side note: I’ve repeatedly noticed this same self-righteousness advertised by similar autistic / ADHD-coded people online, particularly in the software dev space, and particularly amongst what I’d call the bluesky / mastodon set.

If you think what you're doing is good for anyone to do, it's only logical to nudge people around you to do it.

Sure. So how would you feel about a Christian nudging you to stop taking the lord’s name in vain because they believe it’s “good for anyone to do”?

I'd be annoyed and try to get them out of my space or leave myself. Is that bad?

Nope. That’s exactly what I’m advocating too.

you're advocating they shut up, not that they leave

Where did you get this from? It's not in TFA for me...

Edit: Speaking of chosen behaviors pushed on others, do you have a religious impulse to make us all feel as triggered as you are?

I must say, I'm honoured this commenter is so angry about this post, they've read through many of my blog posts, and gone through microsites like my Manual of Me[0], to pull this quote to attempt to criticise me

Whoa there. Quite a lot of strong assumptions you’re making about me. That doesn’t seem very empathetic or compassionate on your part.

These aren't religious beliefs. This is altering behavior in a way that's inconsequential to you but can make your project/workplace/friend circle feel more welcoming to others.

Ah, this explains a lot about your views
