Thank you, that's super constructive and helpful, I really appreciate this and we (@o_guest and I) are always eager to improve this list.
I like the idea of optional disclosure, but am a bit worried whether it might create odd dynamics and feel compulsory. But why not try...

I'm neurodiverse/atypical myself. Fixed.

As for disclosure, I'm not sure what the legal status is of storing people's characteristics (some of which are protected legally in the UK at least) is under GDPR and on and on? And we didn't ask for emails again for that reason, so everything on that site is public already.

Would like to learn more though! One thing that is worrying is that some additions to the list were not done so by the people themselves (we have to assume this true as it's open to anybody adding anybody, we don't have accounts or emails attached).

If the only solution is to start again, delete the list in a sense and tweet asking for a do-over asking for characteristics and email addresses, maybe it's worth looking into?

Another option is to return to just being "women in modeling", perhaps? But the binarism of that kind of upsets me. But it would reduce the worry that we are treating all minorities in modeling the same? FWIW I'm in every minority mentioned.

I know people on that list who are nonbinary, so that concerns me too -- I'm nonbinary and "women in X" groups make me severely uncomfortable/feel excluded.

Replying to @phonologist @o_guest and
Like, more than one person. Not gonna name names since the info isn't there; but I agree w you that binarism isn't the way to go

I mean, I'm not a lawyer but I fail to see the issue with people self-disclosing how they identify, with the option to opt-out/remove it if necessary? It would be nice to not have to sift through an entire list to find ppl like me, if that makes sense.

Because GDPR probably would have issues with how and where we store the data.
