I completely agree that:

1) There are some aspects of gender and diversity that are appropriate to 
discuss within Debian.  Namely, that everyone should be treated with respect 
no matter who they are.  However, the previous email I was responding to went 
far beyond that to discussing aspects of these topics that are tangential to 
Debian and its mission.

2) All discussion should be respectful.  The original email I was responding 
to was not respectful.
