At HF events, no one should ever feel belittled or made to feel unsafe. The following behavior will not be tolerated: disrupting or disallowing participation by others; harassment, intimidation, or discrimination in any form, including physical, written, electronic, or verbal abuse.

Examples of unacceptable behavior include, but are not limited to:

• Derisive comments related to gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, medical condition, pregnancy, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, national origin, citizenship, culture, marital status, familial status, domestic partner or civil union status, use of a guide or support animal, educational background, or veteran/military status.

This is an example of a response that you might give. It's good to be as thorough as possible in responses as that has a tendency to improve trust overall.
