I am trying very hard to be open to the idea that a big part of the stuff that annoyed me was *just* miscommunication. I think, certainly, there was at least some miscommunication.
She seems to be saying, "when people feel that certain elements of their lives aren't covered in fiction, then it's necessary for those people to go out there are start writing." That's a valid statement, and one I agree with. As I mentioned, wild_irises, made a similar statement to me a few WisCons ago, and I found that very motivational.
When that statement is made several times, I interpret the repetition as, "I think that's all there is to say on the topic."
The whole point of the panel was to explore what gets elided in the standard trans/trope sf story. When a panelist says, "here's something that gets elided," I'm not sure it carries the conversation further to simply say, "well, you should write about that."
