[Bug 1946166] [NEW] unnecessarily gendered language in documentation

 

Public bug reported:

bug: Having gendered language in documentation reinforces the exclusion
of women and non-cis folks from participating in the project.

I was reading through some documentation to diagnose some issues with
multistores and came across these.

I've included some proposed alternatives as well.
