If empathy isn't your thing then consider the secondary consequences of this. Many of those people the "pendulum" is swinging away from already feel pretty excluded by society and have little reason to participate. It's driving a mass movement, it's likely what got Trump elected, and it's likely to swing the pendulum back very hard in the direction you don't want it to go.

You need to make sure you're not pushing people too hard.

Empathy is pretty important to me and as I understand it's the primary motivation of folks looking to shift communication in public code repositories towards more inclusive language, actually. It's remarkable that asking for that empathy is somehow a bridge too far and the onus to be empathetic and not 'push too hard' is on those looking to make life a bit friendlier towards gender minorities.
