  on: Plans for in­ves­ti­gat­ing and im­prov­ing the ex­pe­rience of women, non-bi­nary and trans peo­ple in EA

  I don’t really know what we’re going to find, and I’m very uncertain about what actions we’ll want to take at the end of this. We’re open to the possibility that things are really bad and that improving the experiences of women and gender minorities should be a major priority for our team. But we’re also open to finding out that things aren’t – on the whole – all that bad, or aren’t all that tractable, and there are no significant changes we want to prioritise.

  I appreciated this. I really want EA to understand its problems and deal with them, but that’s not going to happen if everyone is starting with an agenda. I value someone going in with a truth seeking goal to understand the situation.
