GNU Kind Communication Guidelines
Lest you think this is yet another CoC, the guidelines assure you that they are not a CoC.
Announcing the GNU Kind Communication Guidelines
The GNU Kind Communication Guidelines, initial version, have been published in https://gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.html. On behalf of the GNU Project, I ask all GNU contributors to make their best efforts to follow these guidelines in GNU Project discuaaions[sic].
[ . . . ] The difference between kind communication guidelines and a code of conduct is a matter of the basic overall approach.
A code of conduct states rules, with punishments for anyone that violates them.
[...] The idea of the GNU Kind Communication Guidelines is to start guiding people towards kinder communication at a point well before one would even think of saying, "You are breaking the rules." The way we do this, rather than ordering people to be kind or else, is try to help people learn to make their communication more kind.
[ . . . . ] I disagree with making "diversity" a goal. If the developers in a specific free software project do not include demographic D, I don't think that the lack of them as a problem that requires action
The best way to avoid conflict and encourage diversity is to force everyone to voluntarily think alike.

You're being used by the people with whom you disagree. Unfortunately, this requires you to speak out explicitly against them.

Yes, I'm very much aware of that. I have spoken out explicitly against them. It changes nothing. The "alt-right" right-wing authoritarian tribe continues to press for laws and policies that harm trans folks and continues to spout off their version of gender theory that is no less divorced from reality than the gender theory found in modern academia. The "SJW" right-wing authoritarian tribe continues to do everything they can to inflame the "alt-right," and it could be the case that unbeknownst to the useful idiots, the goal of the ruling class always was the creation of a fascist movement.
For some reason they don't understand that Revelation was just a fairy story. The curtains don't drop and we don't all file out of the theater and home to our normal lives after the real third impact. (The first two impacts being Hiroshima and Nagasaki....)
