Sounds like a good idea. I have a question, though: if a woman has not
publicly disclosed her gender (or claims to be male) to avoid harassment,
and she joins the list, can she expect to be "outed" elsewhere by members
of the list, or criticised for "lying"? It may be an impossible problem,
but it's worth thinking about because there are probably several people who
fit that description.

Thanks for setting it up.
Please keep in mind the benefits of bringing back good discussions to
the open forum, including self-governance to avoid creating an
echo-chamber. The new list excludes me, and at the same time I support
experimenting with different types of safe spaces when there is a
perceived need.

contact me for info on how to join.
I meant to announce this a few weeks ago, but an unplanned, personal
business trip and a broken elbow held me up.
