There’s a networking event for female leaders next week. One of the questions was ‘can men attend?’ This is what the response is. HUH?

Hear Here is forming, and we are learning as we go. For this event, we are creating a space specifically for female, non-binary, agender, and gender non-conforming people. In future, we may look to extend this to allies and all.

Took it to read that
“actually yes men in fact can come”

It means we want to create a female space, and we don't want to exclude women who identify as NB etc, oh no what about the ones that say they don't have a gender, oh shit just put a load of the terms in there and also say allies as well cos that's important apparently and we won't say men and we will just hope no men come but if they do we will be too scared to say no.

Ask for them to reply in English?

It's a word salad that means nothing. It doesn't answer as to whether any males will be in attendance
