White knight? Why are you assuming I'm not a woman?
I think people can simultaneously have two goals. You might as well argue that school bus drivers are more worried about getting into an accident than the job they were hired to do; transporting children to and from school. Any competent driver should be able to manage both, just as any competent developer should be able to write good code while also not alienating people without reason.
I'm sorry, but now I'm confused. White Knight does have a gender undertone, at least in gender discussions. It wouldn't make sense to apply it to women, since the goal is painting the person as the stereotypical knight in shiny armor that comes to save the damsel in distress.
I'm sorry but in my world a White Knight is an amorphous (and obviously genderless) entity that bears any kind of armor (not just the shiny ones!) and saves other amorphous entities in distress.
Please consider revising your definition so that you stop excluding people with your close-minded 'cis' stereotypes.
