@lurkmoophy @ChadLDN Hint, guys: ‘dressing up’ makes you neither a woman nor transgender.

@lurkmoophy@ChadLDN No, you just beautifully demonstrated why neither of those communities would feel safe/welcome at your event. -
@aral@lurkmoophy@ChadLDN sorry but it's obvious they were joking? that would never put me off going to his conference. jesus, lighten up. -
@alexbrookey Yeah, you're right. Using minority demographics for the lols is fine. How about dressing up as mentally handicapped? /@aral -
@rubenlightfoot well since@alexbrookey is a blond female designer from Essex, she's in a minority demographic of her own. -
@JamesSLock bwahahah

@aral@lurkmoophy@ChadLDN wow, disgusting. Is this what you mean by "constructive discussion"?https://twitter.com/lurkmoophy/status/504217194696556544 … -
@nslater blog post coming later. I'll send through when it's published. -
@lurkmoophy and FWIW, the people mentioning you today are having constructive discussions about diversity every day. -
@lurkmoophy many of them have experience organising diverse conferences, myself included. This stuff is hard, but not insurmountable. -
@nslater you're right and I've been pointed to many resources that I wish I knew about earlier. Sometimes it feels like these conversations -
@nslater like a witch hunt. Actively offering help etc. Not saying it doesn't happen, but it's not what I see happening within my circles -
@lurkmoophy I think you need to find new circles. There's a core group of people who talk about this stuff. https://storify.com/polotek/the-journey-on-twitter … -
@nslater thank you for having a constructive conversation btw :)
