I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
I think it definitely fits — this advice is broadly applicable in life, but as for tech, it's particularly helpful for folks working with trans people. Also, why call out someone for sharing helpful advice about being more empathetic and kind towards other people? You didn't have to say this; you could've just read another article. This article's title is extremely clear about its topic and it's tagged appropriately. Also, I don't think it's ever helpful to comment to someone that their post doesn't fit for the site... if you think that's the case, you can privately report an article to us. To be clear perfectly clear, DEV promotes kindness, diversity, and inclusivity and this post gives people advice for being all of the above; this post definitely fits.
Thank you for your insight, I get it. I would have preferred to read some things to consider doing for trans people, rather than being told do's and don'ts. I feel "policed" rather than being given the opportunity to learn.
The points are very valid, even though a few things are not strictly tech related. For example using the pronouns in our bio.
Well, the good news is that you decide which content you engage with 🙂 You can easily find other resources that don’t come in the form of do’s and don’t’s.
To your point that some ideas/suggestions in the article are not strictly tech-related... they are very much so given how unsafe this industry is for marginalized/minoritized communities and tech as a field needs to have better culture standards in place. So, this is as much a tech issue as are conversations about interviews, salaries, benefits and role progresssions.
Please also notice that none of the categories this post is in are code-related.

Isn't this article a bit off-topic to be on Dev.to?
Nope!

I hope this explains a little better.
