Im well aware of what the event is.

If you believe the ticktok, some lied as being trans or whatever.


Oh, you mean they were men claiming to be women, while not being women?

Do you even listen to yourself?

Has that been confirmed? It's wild that a cause that once used to celebrate "coming out", now cannot even believe it themselves. Should all these non-binaries go back into the closet?

Side note: do they even call it "coming out of the closet" for this? Genuine question...

EDT: The downvote probably was because of my insensitivity and respect for someone's preferred pronouns. I meant, "Do they/them"...

I mean, I don't immediately repeat things said on tiktok as fact unless there is some actual credibility.

Same with guys lying to compete in women's sports.

What makes this more fair than the sports example is women are at less of a disadvantage competing against men in the tech workspace than they are at competing against men in sports.

And men posing as female weightlifters are rewriting records, all while being hailed by women as being "so brave". Kudos to these nerds for giving the double bird to these 'strong' women in business.

When Lia Thomas lied about being a woman, he was able to use superior strength and ability to defeat other women. When these guys lied, it would require superior intellect to defeat the other women, which is a more fair playing field than using superior strength. You get it now?

She said she suspected that cisgender men may have "finessed" the system by pretending to be non-binary, or selecting "prefer not to answer" on their entry forms, though there is no solid evidence for the claim.


They legally have to allow men, but they actually dont want them there. Im assuming its so they could get a ticket. If all the men going said they were men, red flags prob would have been raised before the event.

If declaring oneself a woman is enough, then these are “women in tech.”

If not, then why are other fields held to that standard?


Yup. Dont see too many "Women in Trades" conventions. God Forbid they have to work outside in unpleasant conditions for "equal" pay.

If they identified as a woman or non-binary for the event, that is how they felt at the time and all these bigots assuming genders need to be banned from the conference.
