Yes, that's why I asked. One candidate already answered and I hope the other one will also share her opinions. But it was also interesting to know your opinions, and if that isn't deemed off-topic in the context of a DPL election, I'd like to hear the opinions of other non-candidates too. > Also, why on earth would you care whether people you've never met (and probably never will meet) decide to transition and ask you to use a different name/pronoun to address them? That is definitely off-topic. If you are interested in knowing my answer to that or to any other questions, feel free to contact me in private. > In a whole, I think it's interesting to see people asking the DPL to take position regarding what they see as problematic to them instead of taking the matter in their hands and submit resolution proposals for these points. I kind of see your point -- but this is the discussion period for the DPL election, and this is the mailing list where the discussion is supposed to take place, and I was following up to another question asked to the candidates, so it seemed entirely appropriate to me to address them. And I believe that a GR would be the last resort, rather than the main way to address problems. Besides, initiating a discussion on this list would be the starting point for a GR process too. If you think it was wrong of me to ask that question, please elaborate. Gerardo
