All of those are limited resources to which you have no right,” White said.

But then earlier:

The nonprofit says it believes allyship from men is important and noted it cannot ban men from attending due to federal nondiscrimination protections in the US.

So… We’d like to discriminate against men and would conversely see no problem if someone else hosted male only hiring events…?

After thinking about it that’s exactly what they’re doing.

They sold tickets at $700 each to loads of men. So loads of men turned up.

What did they expect to happen. They knew in advance how many tickets they’d sold and to who… and nobody raised any flags. A few % lying about gender (if they did, gender is complex) wouldn’t tip the scales that much.

That’s the motto of the WNBA… SOMEONE, needs to pay for this, but it’s not the responsibility of women to support women’s sports ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Did you mean this to seem sincere? Because it reads like a snide anti-LGBTQ statement.

How is saying they just assumed they weren’t trans an anti-LGBTQ statement?

Not a TERF, just downvoting because you made a ridiculous statement and then followed it up with “anyone who disagrees with me is a bigot”.
