FWIW, I don't think coming up with ever more
fine-grained categorization
of what constitutes marginalized persons and putting that in the CoC is the
right way to go.
One can always come up with more categories of marginalized people, and
trying to enumerate all of them in a CoC is IMO impractical, while
mentioning only some of them can create the impression that some categories
of people are "more equal" than others.
It isn't always about practical enforcement, it is a statement of values.
As a member who belongs to at least three of the typically listed groups,
including LGBT, and I have been assaulted for this, I rarely read the lists
but it makes me feel safer in new groups.
