be professional ffs

You lost me here. It's not "unprofessional" to want people to not be transphobic.

You can ask the person, not the software project. The project is just a project. We can tear eachotger to pieces as individuals and then sit at a table trying to solve problems as professionals.

If someone wanted to take your rights away, maybe even didn't believe you should be allowed to be alive, would you be unprofessional for not wanting to use software they make? Would you be unprofessional for making your own version of that if the project refused to remove them as the lead? No. You wouldn't. A way to solve that problem as a professional is to fork the project. What's not professional is calling people doing that unprofessional.
