Line 9:
Organizers of "women and their friends"-style outreach events can find
themselves in murky waters. We work to build
contain, welcome, and respect a wider range of people than before. But
in doing so, we find ourselves in situations where tact seems advisable.
Line 41:
* Indicate the goals of the workshop, and indicate how your question helps you be sure you are reaching that goal.
* Where possible, use deadlines liberally. For example, tell the person you will adjust their RSVP to "no" by (for example) Tuesday at 9 PM if you don't hear an answer. Keep in mind that you ''do'' have an event timeline you want to stick to, so timelines are very useful for you as an organizer.
* Be courteous, if you have the patience for it. Being nice to people doesn't cost you anything, and keep in mind you could be reacting to a misunderstanding. Be prepared for that possibility by indicating what you saw and what your goals and concerns are.
== Being welcoming to anyone who identifies as a woman (and welcoming trans women) ==
