There’s only white male Science Party types running Melb this year. No disability access info on Melb event page. (Or info on who’s in charge) Just a generic email for queries and some standard inclusion lip service text. #showmedonttellme

This is not to blame any volunteer or minority. Far from it. It is to identify mode of failure by a systems approach - a social construct to communicate these ideas to the future, in this case the next set of organisers. Embedding inclusion into a social construct is not easy.
Do you actually know what you're saying, Sean? Misusing the phrase "social construct" doesn't excuse what you're doing here, which is evading responsibility for: 1/ wanting a march that is not inclusive; 2/reproducing the same mistakes as last year b/c you didn't engage last time

Oh ... I see. You think I don't want to be inclusive. I haven't said that, but I apologise if I've given you that impression. I am speaking as someone who is advocating for inclusiveness but struggling to find traction with some and trying to understand their perspectives.
-
I am assuming that when you say "you" you mean me personally, not people in general. I hope I understand you correctly.
-
I am trying to share partly my frustration and partly my understanding. I understand that we're dealing with real people rather than constructs in our heads and our perception of their motivations. We don't necessarily understand how they feel.

You can read about it if you really want to learn. So much literature out there

I literally just linked to a resource Sean, with more than a dozen articles. I've also explained what you're doing wrong already. You are chosing to double down. Read what I've provided. Or don't. But don't claim ignorance - one of the mechanisms by which exclusion is perpetuated
