We can still honour that fact that great swathes of fandom are female and that this is awesome and unusual, but as an organisation trying to work for as many fans as possible, you also need to assign positive value to the spaces that aren't female.

How? That is not meant as a dismissive question: I genuinely would like you to send your suggestions for change to the OTW.

No one person wrote those statements; many people have worked on them, more have critiqued them, and the OTW is still open to changing the wording again (and I hope the Organisation always will be open to such changes, as fandom changes).

However, what we have now is the best wording we can currently think up which fills both our intended mission and is as inclusive as possible given that mission.

If you can think of an alternative wording that does those things better, please send it to Community Relations. It will be read and considered.
