Women's day is coming up
Please do not add anyone to a women's list without checking first (try their profile etc) - and also asking/confirming with them! they may be non-binary, fluid, or just uncomfortable with that! Also lists can act as a method for people to attack the people on that list.
Please do not directly ask people to talk about being an X in Y - some people are fed up with it (we talk and talk and nothing has changed...), some people aren't comfortable with it (you can get backlash), or tons of other equally valid reasons they don't want to. Try reaching out to your networks broadly (we are seeing a X to talk about Y - please let me know if you want to talk on this or know people who do, please share!).
brining awareness to causes, information, people is great, but not if you are potentially causing pain or harm in the process.
