Thanks for that link, that clears a bit up. It took a while for all that
dust to clear and honestly, I stopped getting in the middle of the drama
and focused on improving myself and my friends behaviors (telling them that
they shouldn't say things).
I think more people should go to this event. I do appreciate what the ada
initiative does and we can all help them succeed.

Seems to me that it was the organizers of bsides who decided what they
wanted to do in this situation --- it was their call how to respond.

Valerie about how that went down and why they did what they did. In
private
of course, so I can decide if I want to support
them or find a better way
(like a group that teaches men that being feminine is not bad and should
not
be used as an insult or maybe one that just plain
treats others with
respect).
