How is _your_ supply chain a concern of this open source developer?

#7> I've closed off access to issues and discussions.
> I don't want to continue allowing an online environment with such an absurdly skewed gender representation. I find it intensely unwelcoming, and it's not reflective of the type of working environments I value.
That's the totality of the message.
Weirdly enough, the concept of "an environment I don't personally find welcoming is unwelcoming — and better gone" strikes me as rather unwelcoming and indicative of a diet in severe need of iron-y supplementation.

_My_ supply chain is not a big deal, lol. But this is HTTPX. A network library that has a considerable number of users.
When I say _considerable_, I'm essentially saying _nearly every_ big tech. The one I can tell for sure is OpenAI (not a fan of them though).
Remember xz attack?

Forking is a good option for companies, but not a good option for sole developers: one doesn't have that much energy.
Switching to other libraries like requests and aiohttp and supporting them by contributing is clearly a better option.
