| Sep 30, 2018 at 3:30 | comment | added | G_B | @ElizabethHenning I agree that it's a safety concern, and that may well be the primary reason for making such a request. But framing it as a "medical issue" may be less likely to draw unwanted attention and follow-up questions, and given that the issue relates to OP's physical body it's still truthful, even if it's not the whole truth. I also agree that organisers should be willing to accommodate such requests without requiring details, but sadly "should" doesn't always happen, and OP hasn't indicated that they're only considering Western countries. | |
| Sep 30, 2018 at 3:13 | comment | added | Elizabeth Henning | I agree that the organizers should handle this, but it's not a medical issue; it's a concern about personal safety. In Western countries, at least, they should have the grace to accommodate such a concern without asking for details. | |
