No it doesn't. That thread was clearly a technical question based on a
specific gender problem domain. That is perfectly within bounds.

That said there is an obvious typo in #3:

3. A safe, respectful, productive and collaborative environment is free
of comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical
appearance, body size or race.

We could add the word inappropriate (I thought negative but that doesn't
work either because positive comments can be just as bad).
