You're doing a conference in Florida?
You truly represent the apotheosis of "Agile".
For reals, yo.
You're cool with your 3,000 person venue where no one who isn't a cishet white salesperson/john man is welcome?
Jesus fucking Christ.
I was already estranged, I freely admit it, But this is beyond the pale.
Fuck the Agile fucking Alliance. They aren't what we wanted, they never have been.
@agilealliance I don't give a fuck about your sunk fucking cost.
Apologize, and eat the cost.
You're committing a sin you'll never come back from.
Your one chance, and it's slim, is to just admit that you made a mistake, ask for forgiveness, and move forward.
@agilealliance My trans friends will not go to Florida, not cuz they're mad, cuz they're at risk of their lives. My Black friends won't go to Florida, not cuz they're mad, cuz they're at risk of their lives. My gay and lesbian friends won't go to Florida, not cuz they're mad, cuz they're at risk for their lives.
Go broke, walking away, go broke. But go broke *proud* that you cared more for humans than for a venue-deposit.
🇳🇱
What about florida makes it so exceptionally dangerous for them? Not that I'm disagreeing with you, just wondering what law or whatever this is in reference to.
@freemo @GeePawHill @agilealliance "male / female impersonation" being defined as "adult content" which minors shouldn't see means that someone could harass / arrest someone simply for walking around.
I've seen this in some states. On the upside, this is certainly a violation of the First Amendment which protects free expression.
That might be one. Also, rhetoric / laws from politicians might make people feel unsafe, in general.
