 				<h2>General guidelines for submitting patches</h2>
 					<p>
 						Using your legal name is <b>not</b> required. For reasons why we have this policy, read <a href='http://geekfeminism.org/2012/09/29/quick-hit-how-git-shows-the-patriarchal-nature-of-the-software-industry/'>this article</a>. You can use an assumed name, or your company name (if you have a company), if you want. Also, read <a href='http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/'>this article</a>. Unfortunately, git appears to be stuck with these problems, when an author changes their name, and we don't have a concrete answer to it.
+						As far as we know, publishing your legal name isn't even required for copyright purposes; in fact, &quot;pen names&quot; are common in literature.
 					</p>

 						When submitting any kind of documentation, try not to use the terms him/her, she/he, his/her, or anything that is gender biased. <b>Use their, they, them, those people, that person, and so on.</b> <a href="https://gist.githubusercontent.com/0xabad1dea/8870b192fd1758743f66/raw/a230fa3438ce60c538dba31830fa88143245b719/singularthey.md">You are making a huge difference</a>.
