The Code of Conduct's reflection of gendering, and how it applies to
(mis)gendering is referring to this type of thing:

  
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transphobia&oldid=773143601#Misgendering_and_exclusion

I think the code of conduct is pretty clear about it:

  We are committed to making participation in this project a
  harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of
  [...] gender, gender identity and expression [...]

"Gender identity and expression" is pretty clear: trans-exclusionary
behavior doesn't belong here.

It's very simple: respect peoples' preferred pronouns and *drop this
subject*.  This topic is over, and that's been signaled as such from the
maintainers and many other people in this community.  Please don't
reopen it.
