Indeed.  But as Jordi mentioned, you can argue the same about French
in France vs Belgium vs Canada, etc.
I think "tu" in French is used more "easily" outside France.

I agree with Gregor (IMHO: Using the female-only form in a Debian
_Women_ context sounds
perfectly fine to me.)

You can start with a disclaimer (à la "we are using feminine forms for
generality and convenience and don't mean to discriminate against
anyone" just like administrations here in Québec do about masculine
forms).  Then write the body of texts all in feminine form.  It should
be fine.
