To some degree that's true, but not entirely.

What if you want to contribute a patch? Now you have to interact with the bpd transgender catgirl and/or schizophrenic nazi. (Maybe they're both; more likely than you'd think!)

Not just contribution either. If you want to hang out in the software's community, like IRC channel or whatever, it could cause issues as well. I don't wanna be forced to speak of a schizophrenic catgirl trans nazi who looks like the Unabomber IRL as a "she" no matter how cute his anime girl pfp is.
