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 …

Everyone needs a means of resolving issues, not just members of the few protected classes. But we shouldn't be overly cautious either. It's a tough thing to balance for sure.

This is not what I'm talking about. Reverse *ism is bullshit. And yes, equal and equitable are not the same thing. But who gets to define what groups are special? We're talking about social interaction which is a bit different. Remember, not all differences are visible.

I'm curious to know what you would add to this list of protected classes: age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, or religion (or lack thereof), education, or socio-economic status.

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.
