I finally found the origin of that bs article that claims that people want Santa to be gender-neutral. They took the whole thing from a graphic design survey

“We should point out here that even the most flexible retelling does not involve anyone “demanding” Santa be portrayed as gender neutral. If the survey was accurately relayed, 69 people in the world suggested that if Santa was rebranded, that a change of gender could be a creative take.”
