I have never encountered anything in my life that ran on good faith that wasn't immediately turned into a trainwreck.
I can understand that sentiment. Plenty of things running on good faith have been chugging along just fine, and considering this conference has been happening annually since 2006 without any prior issue like this worth noting, it seems like that's been doing a pretty good job up until now. Again, not sure what measures could be taken that wouldn't also be incredibly invasive, transphobic, or a combination of the two.
Well, I suppose it's a matter of whether or not the length of good years mitigates the problems created by a bad one. I didn't see them mention any steps to mitigate this in the future so hopefully they come up with something, as this will likely end up being the same result so long as job conditions stay as they are.
Yeah, I dunno what can be done to prevent this in the future but hopefully the event organizers can come up with something that doesn't amount to a "you must look -this- feminine to enter" sign by the entrance lol
