In light of experiences at this WorldCon, I am amending my panel requirements: No all-male panels, and at least _two_ panelists who are persons of colour.
Based on James's past behaviour, I expect he'll find a way to satisfy his principles without harming the people you're concerned for.
"What if there's a panel that includes people who don't fit into any easy categories?" Great! That's an incredibly diverse panel! I look forward to listening to their conversation!
