The main problem happens when someone considers to don't have received a
fair assessment.
I understand that the T&S must have a certain role, but I am sorry for the
T&S, the criticisms are part of this role.
Considering that every decision will be accepted unconditionally is not
suitable. To ensure a fair trial, in general two levels of evaluation are
often created with two different "courts" so those who consider themselves
to have been wrongly judged (people can make mistakes), can ask another
"independent" court to be evaluated and to confirm or to reject the first
level. Here it seems to me that T&S always considers itself on the right
side but this sense of infallibility is not the feeling that the community
has.
Apart from all what strikes me is that a person must publicly say his
sexual tendencies because he believes that he has not been judged correctly
and excused, apart from the moral lesson, this thing is very sad because
the T&S has produced an act that has committed an even more serious act.
Imagine that the part recognized in error is right, how will the T&S be
excused? Will it write a letter of public apology?
Kind regards

to be honest, I doubt this would solve the trust issue as long as some

Speculating and accusing victims of being the actual perpetrators,
believing the perpetrators more than the victims, perpetrators depicting
themselves as the victims, is a sad default behaviour in our community.
This needs to change. Seriously.

First of all I don’t know the context of this conversation. I know that I
personnally find that the actions of Trust& Safety very valuable and
wise. I totally support and trust their judgement.
I am tired of seing their work criticized, and do not appreciate official
chapter representants and employees publicly supporting alleged
offenders,
showing no aknowledgement of the fact that this
is very toxic for alleged
victims, and does not help to change attitude towards issues of
harrassment.
How can we feel safe in the movement if the decisions of T&S are
questionned by official members of our movement?

Thank you, Molly, for expressing what I was just trying to summon the
energy to write.
