For anybody who doesn't know what #Fediforum is:
- A worse-than-average TERF created #FediForum and the #internetidentityworkshop.

- A bunch of prominent fedi interlopers, including IFTAS signed up to speak at the conference and were included in promotional posts.
- Eventually, the TERF left and #FediForum had a "listening session" where they talked vaguely about diversity, without actually centering the core issue of transphobia.
For anyone looking through this account a while from now, hoping to find info about the Internet Identity Workshop being organized by Kaliya Hamlin, outed as a TERF: at the bottom of this page, you will find proof the organizers were contacted about this.

My focus is keeping the Queer Fedi community safe, but it would be my greatest pleasure to become part of the receipts you will provide to keep tech safe for LGBTQIA+ people.
An uninvited protest talk given at the Fedi Forum conference, that we found was organized by a TERF. In it, i discuss the harassment trans women from a working class background have faced on Mastodon for the last two years.
Today (April 1st) is your last chance to cancel your #IIW40 tickets!
Why might you want to do that?
Founder and organizer of the #IIW, Kaliya or "Identity Woman," really hates trans people and very openly says some pretty horrifying things about them.
🎉 Missed the final day of #InternetIdentityWorkshop XXXVIII but what an awesome whirlwind M-W were!
🚀 Terrific catch-ups, convos, sessions - exciting to see the full 'stack & cycle' from concepts > standards > infrastructure > products now represented. You can just feel the energy & momentum in the air.
🙌 Standout: a growing community of brilliant #WomenInIdentity building solutions to real human problems. Woohoo!
See you in October?
