This is directed at a Unitarian Universalist audience, but can apply to any group or event.

“When a mic is being used at a meeting and someone looks at it and says, ‘Do we really need this?’ I feel outright anger. That person just asked if people like me really exist and demanded that we defend ourselves.”

We had someone like that! I don't know what her training was, but she was five foot nothing and all voice. She was the senior art teacher, and she would get on the gymnasium stage in front of ~800 students plus staff, and could be heard no worries at the back (her enunciation was fabulous as well).
