As a member of the Geek Feminism collective and a member of Ubuntu Women (groups which pointed out the sexism of Mark Shuttleworth’s comments in his 2009 Linuxcon keynote), my existence as a woman was no less political than Lukas’s existence as a queer person.
And I am both.
Calling a person’s demographics “politics” while banning “politics” is nothing more than an attempt to erase those demographics.
