Thank you, my friend! I thought that faerierhona put it rather well, up above: Some people just like to compete in the Oppression Olympics. :-D
That said, it really just made me laugh when I saw that the same person who gave me such grief over being exclusionary and "transphobic" is being far more discriminatory and exclusive than I ever was. (Recall that my great transgression was borrowing a slogan used, with nary a fuss, at a similar event two months earlier -- the horror! *wink*)
As for the "no unpartnered men allowed" rule, I can understand why it torqued those gears of yours! It is demeaning and insulting. Personally, I could attend OpenCon UK, as miss_amaranth goes every year and, thus, she would be considered an appropriate "keeper" for me. However, I would still boycott the event, rather than agree to such degradation.
Meanwhile, the Event Horizon party is open to all of my friends... and their friends... and so on! Should be gangs of fun, with no discrimination or exclusion allowed! *grin*
Oh, it will be soooooo good to see you again! *big smiles*
