Yeah, so you’re not participating to the cultural widespread oppression
of underrepresented “minorities” (well actually people not being rich
white cis heterosexual men are the majority of humanity) like non-men
(that includes women, some undefined trans, intersexes, etc.),
non-heterosexual, non-white, etc. it doesn’t cause any problem. So
actually it’s not your talk that we need to fix, but the policy, which
is not precise/clear enough.

So I’ll just enjoy your talk :)
