> It is because in practice these are politically motivated trojan horses meant to tear down things like a meritocracy, the very thing that created this great software.
1. Why is respecting gender identity a "trojan horse" - in what way is it deceptive?
2. How is a project a meritocracy if it scares away potentially better contributors with an antagonistic discussion climate?

I feel like you and the Medium post are missing out crucial information here. What were these views? How did they relate to the workplace? The Medium post mentions she is friends with James Damore - who was clearly fired because his manifesto by implication, but unmistakebly deemed women developers less competent than men, thereby creating a hostile work environment, which the author completely glosses over. This leads me to suspect that the "disagreeing with the narrative" is a euphemism for anti-women, anti-minority views and policies.
