Thank you for all of this great information. It is not good to have a straight person (esp. a cis white man) speaking for any part of the queer community, and making decisions about how we should act or be in the world. I fully agree that Preston needs a new job, the sooner the better.

The conference in St Louis will feature at least one non-binary speaker. Missouri has banned gender affirming care for children, which will inevitably impact adults access to it as well.

I have an unrelated to the conference and Revoice question. What are your thoughts on asexual people using Side A/B language? I've never seen it used, in my community. Asexual people will state whether they are celibate or not, and find it important to distinguish the choice of celibacy from the born lack of sexual attraction that makes us asexual. We state, as you do, that individuals can make the choice to be celibate, but there are asexual people who like having sex with others or will have sex (in varying amounts) for various reasons. Some, though are in QPRs or even marriages (where both partners have chosen celibacy), and I haven't heard Side A/B used.
