If SE is considering the messages in TL from Sara on September 18 to be warnings, then I did not subsequently violate the CoC, current or future. (I also did not interpret them as warnings that my status was in danger.)
There was one piece of email from a CM that suggested that if I couldn't see a path toward resolving the matter, I should step down. But I did see a path and said so. So (1) that wasn't a warning of impending termination and (2) even if it had been, the condition was not met.
If your suggested path forward was to avoid the use of pronouns, and SE had already declined that suggestion, then I can understand why they removed your moderator status for refusal to follow the CoC (while the new CoC makes the pronoun thing explicit, misgendering/degendering is still disrespectful/rude and in violation of the old CoC). It's not that you violated the CoC, but that you told them you would violate the CoC.
I don't agree with the public statements they've made against you. I'm sorry you've had to experience that. It's not fair and really awful of them.
