Comment 56 for bug 272826

I'm not particularly bothered by either form of the word itself, but I am strongly opposed to the idea of making (or even asking) people to declare their gender for two reasons. 1) That's not going to help the complicated issue of the overall relationship of women in FOSS groups that's already strained. 2) Unless you're willing to implement it properly with the full variety of answers, it's discriminatory towards some segments of the LGBT community.

All etymological concerns aside, I do think "ubuntista" sounds kind of cool, so that works for me.
