No-one claiming to be male on-wiki has asked to join the list. That would
be a problem for me and I would take it up with the other list members. I
probably would divulge the editors username to see if the existing (vetted)
list members have any history with the editor. However, list members agree
to abide by certain rules, so "outing" would be bad. This is the
Systers-Wikipedia FAQ, which is based on the original Systers list FAQ, and
which list members must read an agree to abide by in order to join:
I won't spend a lot of time here discussing the list, but women (including
transgender) are welcome to apply.

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.

There is now a Systers-Wikipedia private mailing
list for Wikipedia
women
editors only. If you are a Wikipedia woman editor
(including
transgender),
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.
