    I can’t tell if your misunderstanding is unintentional or trolling. In the context of this conversation, the community I was referring to was the group of women and enbys who worked together for years to try to overcome some of the systemic issues facing women and enbys in tech.

    Also, since you seem determined to give only brief one-liners in response, I have no interest in continuing this conversation with you.

      Transgender women are overrepresented in tech. The event should be for females in order to properly address the real discrepancy at play.

      My point was that I don’t feel being in a community with every man in existence, and likewise I see no point to limit a community to a specific gender, especially in this day and age. “We don’t know you, it’s the first time I see you” is a valid reason for not considering someone a part of a community (yet) on a fair presumably meant for already established members. “You’re a man, go away” just isn’t.

      Also, since you seem determined to give only brief one-liners in response, I have no interest in continuing this conversation with you.

      Quite a bold statement after a single reply from me. Did we have some similar interaction beforehand elsewhere? I usually don’t pay much attention to nicknames, so apologies if by chance it was a repeated occurrence.
