Anyone able to make any head or tail out of this?

"Women Trans Femme (WTF) hours are open to anyone who identifies as female, transgender, femme, genderqueer, trans-masculine, trans-feminine, or feels that their socialization or treatment as a woman, transperson, &/or femme has impeded their participation in bicycle mechanics."
"This space is for:
Women: A person who identifies as a woman.
Trans* People: Transgender, genderqueer, gender non-conforming, gender creative, anyone whose gender identity is fluid, transgressive, and/or transitioning.
Femme: A person of any gender who embodies a “feminine” appearance, expression, or identity, including those who identify as femmes, fairies, sissies, mariposas, mariquitas, or any expression which counters or challenges “traditional” masculinity."
They add
"If you are not WTF identified, BECOME AN ALLY:"
I very much like the idea of WTF-identified. As 'WTF was that shit I just read?'
Is it just me who finds the whole thing a bit confusing, as in - is 'WTF' different in terms of who it is targeting from 'W'? If there are 10,000 bike mechanics in America, and only 100 of them are women, and then say, 300,000 blokes who repair their own bikes, and 3,000 women, or whatever it is, then isn't 'W' the priority. I mean you don't have to exclude T, from a W bike mechanic workshop, it just seems a bit odd saying 'WTF'.
After all the average (male) bike mechanic probably has longer hair so is a bit 'F' anyway?
