Livre d'Or
Not sheepish, but individ-ewe-al
Soundbite
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.

also you are an awesome ally and. yes. Totally agree on not-wanting-to-be-exclusionary-fail?
I will think a bit more about the space-definitions thing -- this was in a very particular context and relatively small group of people (i.e. ~10 of us), where four of us are some flavour of trans* and none of us have passing privilege, and the suggestion for phrasing was being made by a cis woman (who'd started out with "women-only space" while meaning "no cisdudes space", which I also think is problematic). So, yeah, I came into that conversation a bit fraught already which is why it stuck in the mind! Will def think some more & thank you.
