Somebody is giving a list of reasons not to s/he/they/g across everything.
I find it somewhat amusing that Google feels the need to mention all these cases where using the literal two-character string "he" is fine. Scunthorpe problem, gender neutrality edition? Honestly I'd like to see a single person who would think any of these are a problem.pic.twitter.com/3vvWO70s6M

One would think that wouldn't be necessary, especially for a technical crowd who know that... doesn't work.

That's not a problem, because that clearly should always be "e".

What's amusing about it? Seems like a sensible subject to have clarity on

As someone who cares about inclusivity, I would hope nobody else who does would seriously think having the characters "he" in a base64 string would cause a problem. The character string "he" isn't the problem, the problem is using gendered pronouns except as preferred.
