Theresawright, you're talking about the opposite situation from the one I've been commenting on. I'm talking about someone who most certainly isn't passing as a member of the majority or a privileged group.

For example, I'm talking about someone who, due to their appearance, is assumed by James to be a woman. But this person doesn't identify as a woman. This person doesn't want to be treated like a representative of women. Maybe you disagree, but I think this particular individual person's gender shouldn't be anyone elses' concern, since this person just wants to be on the panel, without being labeled. But, if the circumstances are as I described in a previous comment, James' public requirements will label that person.
