They're setting up a lose/lose scenario where either you allow your space to be invaded by someone who doesn't belong due to something physically immutable (their sex), or you say no and get labelled a bigot and risk your entire community banned in a heartbeat. Same thing happened in the r/PCOS group (women suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome) which got invaded by men who got it banned for transphobia because it wasn't inclusive of men (who literally do not have ovaries): https://twitter.com/krithika0/status/1280889930273546241

My bad, you're right, it went private for 2 days then opened, firmly under the control of stunning and brave men who identify as women ready to denounce vile TERFs. https://twitter.com/krithika0/status/1280890176210788352

Hostile takeover might actually be worse than an outright ban.
