If it was non-political, then you would expect to see no debates on the issue. Given that there was a post here on HN [1] about an initiative for women devolving into flamebait and arguments about reverse sexism, I think one cannot say it's non-political. As most things are political.

More specifically, an initiate that explicitly excluded non-females elicited comments that said this program was sexist and exclusionary.


I'm not sure why I would expect that. People have heated debates on lots of nonpolitical things. Have you seen the HN threads on microservices?

Perhaps more on point, Gitlab surely doesn't have a policy that you can't discuss anything people disagree on at work.
