I didn't understand the harm and apologised. I'm now tryna move on but keep getting dragged back to this thread. I have apologised and said I will no longer comment on the topic in case I do more harm. I was simply asking questions cos I'm new here. If I put it in a way that was offensive I'm sorry, I clearly didn't have the understanding that other members do. Therefore I'll keep my ideals to myself and focus on my cycling. I can't undo things, I can only try to resolve them or apologise.

I can only try to resolve them or apologise
You've non-apologised for if you caused offence rather than resolve anything, which I think is why you "keep getting dragged back in" instead of learning you've kinda said "I'm still right, you're still wrong but I'm not going to talk about it anymore" it's not the worst thing you can do TBH but explains why people read it and then comment on it.

First of all, nobody here thinks calling bikes "she" is a major human rights offence. At worst it's sexist, at best it's stupid. Unlike pronouning a dildo or other sex toy, which is remarkably sensible and makes him less daunting. For example, my colleague Kenneth. Shall I fetch Kenneth? Meet my sexual associate, Kenneth.
You started off with a weird whataboutism question and then ironically described the discussion as childish. I have no idea what point you were trying to make, but if you want to keep calling bikes "she," go for it, no one is going to stop you. Whatever other views you have on trans rights/politics probably aren't relevant to a bike forum.
Imagine getting mad over not giving bikes pronouns
