And why exactly were you mocking me if you (mostly) weren't making an argument? I really would like to know.
My guess is that my post pushed some emotional button with you.
AdeleneDawner is correct. I do not like it when people announce that they wish to form communities I would be unwelcome in because of a "protected" feature (sex/sexuality/race/whatever). (This is importantly different from forming communities based on non-protected features, like willingness to pay membership dues or expertise in a topic, and also importantly different from forming communities in which my presence would be pointless, e.g. I would have no reason whatsoever to be at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.)
Could you characterize what you mean by a "protected" feature?
Most likely one that is difficult to change / not obviously under conscious control.
Aren't most human "features" of such a nature?
"Most" depends on what set of features you consider, but I would happily agree with "many."
