The fact that you were able to recognize what happened, inform yourself, and change your behavior gives me hope that perhaps one day the academic community, in astronomy and otherwise, will also improve. I hope that if more people can realize their privilege and then be motivated to work to change it, our community will be more inviting and flexible for all kinds of marginalized groups - LGBT, people of color, women, and others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
