Author of the totw here: I'd be willing to bet that defacto safe spaces were created as needs arose, as opposed to the proscriptive way they are deployed now. That is part of what I wonder about. Would a gathering even work out? Are anarchists so fractured on sectarian lines that it would be a big stinking litter box? I'm not sure. I'd like such a thing to be possible.

Much as I love the BASTARD Conference, it generally pulls a certain crowd. I am in that crowd, but I enjoy engaging with folks not in that crowd sometimes.
