Hi, I've only found this while browsing the vividcon community even though I'm not a vidder or on the right continent to attend the con, but I find discussions of privilege in various spaces really interesting and eye-opening and I'm trying to educate myself both because I want to and because I attend a few cons in my area and never know how to express my dissatisfaction with a few exclusionary things.

Long explanation because I sort of feel like I'm invading your space just making this comment, but wouldn't having a men's space seem a little exclusionary towards non-cisgendered or transexual people? I know you're merely theorizing, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Otherwise, I just wanted to thank you for making posts like these. You may not think it, but it is helpful and eye-opening to people who aren't, you know, the people running the cons.
