At the end of pull request todogroup#56 @bkeepers explained the thinking behind this template code of conduct. 

In the interest of being constructive in my criticism here is my proposal for a CoC that fits his aims. If @bkeepers wishes to lock this comment thread too pending the unlock of pull request todogroup#56 - then be my guest. 

-------------------------

My goal with this was to not single out any particular group as being an "acceptable target", to me even the concept of someone being an acceptable target is enough to make a convention feel actively hostile. 

I believe this captures as much of the origonal intent as possible without explicitly referring to any group.

Our open source community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We will not act on complaints regarding:
Everybody has their own personal background, family history and culture. What is normal to one person could be intimidating or offensive to another person and what one person considers an unreasonable imposition could in fact be a nessessity to a different person. When a complaint is made we pledge to push beyond own biases, to strive to try to see the issue from every point of view, and to make the accommodations that allow a diverse community to thrive.

We will not act on complaints regarding:

- ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’
- Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you”
- Refusal to explain or debate social justice concepts
- Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial
