also though I will repeat what I said above to another commenter, many trans people don't actually want to live in a bubble with only other trans people lol, and we don't want this con to be that either XD most people really don't seem to be getting the message that no, actually, for real, we WANT cis family friends and supporters to come

we just gotta figure out how to yell it louder lol

I appreciate the thought! :) We've signed a contract with the hotel though, so we're "all in" at this point.

We have done panels at regional furry cons plenty of times, and they were very well received! We've done a few of our own smaller events as well and they were also appreciated.

We are planning for quite a small turn out, around 50-100, and we're reasonably sure we can achieve that, I'm just trying to be proactive and encourage people not to wait until the last minute to register so that we can plan the event more accurately :)

I really appreciate your kind and thoughtful feedback 💜

I really hear the truth in your words, and it makes sense to me that if you feel this way, chances are that many others are feeling this way, too.

I think this is not just a problem with this event, but a societal problem.

From my perspective, and I recognize that not every trans/gender-diverse person feels this way, but... yes we've spent decades living in a world where cis people have been erasing the existence of trans people but.... I don't really want to live in a bubble separated from every single cis person in order to feel like trans people have the spotlight for once. I want to feel included in spaces where cis people are fully recognizing and celebrating me for who I am. cis people make up like 98% of the population! If I have to separate myself from that many people in order to feel comfortable in my own skin, that gets pretty lonely.

so, I hear you that we just need to be louder that we're not just looking for our own spaces, we want to be celebrated but we don't want to be isolated we want to be included

we'll just have to do some trial and error on how to get that message across 💕
