Thank you, Heather! This is what we run into on the WP GGTF every time we
open something up for discussion.
All I wanted to discuss the possibility of such a group. Are there any
policies that would make it impossible? How would we determine who is a
woman? Could inclusion/exclusion be automated? What might the benefits of
such a group be? The liabilities? What would its scope be? It's goals?
Can we discuss this?

You don't see anything slightly wrong with this idea? Really?!?
This is 100% unadulterated identity politics.
You say that as if identity politics is somehow inherently negative.
