I wish this reached all corners. @robin__craig, @hbachrach, @clamorousvoice, @DrDadabhoy, @drlettycgarcia, and others (apologies for many omissions) were bravely and importantly vocal while the conference was running about behaviour and inclusion in these spaces #BSASwansea2019

Forming closed-off groups of men who snigger at the back or visibly don't listen to speeches is exclusionary. We all want to catch up with our friends, we all gravitate towards certain people. But don't be surprised or aggressive if you're challenged on it.

One more for good measure: trying to laugh off your mispronunciation of a foreign name or your misgendering of someone is exclusionary. When someone's been introduced by the panel chair at the start of the session, don't refer to them as 'THE CHAP' or 'THE LADY.'

I don't exempt myself from this responsibility. I made mistakes at this conference and the generosity of underrepresented voices helped me to think through the impact of those actions & value systems. I don't think we should always leave it to them to educate us.

Some of these concerns might seem minor or glib. Those who've already been tagged in this thread (sorry guys) have made vital contributions to this discussion already about what really matters. But I think we too often laugh off some of the things I've mentioned.

I for one can't wait for @drlettycgarcia's Q&A handbook and the BSA's code of practice (thanks,

That's all from me on this for now, I think. I don't want or deserve congratulation or thanks, and I vowed I'd *never* do a thread, but this conference has opened my eyes to how we can use the privileges we have to fight for the right of others to share them.

The BSA has always strived to be open and inclusive but there have always been voices which have tried to push it in a more exclusive or tribal direction so it’s been a fight all the way and the organisation is still learning.

Thanks for the great work you’ve done and continue to do when it comes to this, Stuart.
