You did do a good job moderating. It was kind of a 201 panel, in some ways; a lot of people, it seemed to me, were busy beating different topics with the "third" stick, trying to analyze as many topics as possible with the idea of non-binary ways of looking at them.
I kinda thought it would've been deeper had it only been about one kind of thirdness: gender, how able-bodied you are, or something like that. Keeping it open to other categories let too many categories get dumped in; we kept accumulating data without doing any analysis, I guess you could say.
But the fact that some disabled people like binary ways of looking at things was very interesting, and I think illuminating.
Anyway, the panel did a lot of good, and you helped it by moderating well and saying lots of interesting things.
