But by defining protected classes, you are by definition excluding classes which are not deemed special, but you may not know of or understand. The important thing is how resolve situations where a party feels slighted in the community.https://twitter.com/_sagesharp_/status/1054491586136948736 …
I also feel like we're talking past each other. Protected classes help define what behavior is inappropriate. Community guidelines apply to everyone. The Contributor Covenant makes a distinction between the two sections for that very reason.

Right, so the protected class ends up being "everyone" when you simply list every possible extremely vague thing. I don't see how this helps define inappropriate behavior any more than simply saying "be kind." It only ever gets decided at point of assumed infraction anyway.

No, you're missing the point of the protected classes. The list is there to make the most marginalized people feel safe, not to expand it to include the most privileged.
