Named The Sisterhood, the spot will be hidden in the site's renowned Shangri-La area and is billed as an "intersectional, queer, trans and disability-inclusive space open to all people who identify as women. Described as a "revolutionary clubhouse," the venue's staff, performers, and security will all be women.
The producers of The Sisterhood believe that women-only spaces are necessary in a world that is still run by and designed to benefit mainly men," the venue's organisers said. "Oppression against women continues in various manifestations around the world today, in different cultural contexts.

honestly, these social justice warrior millennial parasites are killing everything. the more equality they want the more division they create. it's absurd.
"intersectional, queer, trans and disability-inclusive space open to all people who identify as women".
I am wondering how these women feel with a men only venue at Glastonbury.
Alternatively, the pressures of the anomalous gender/anatomy signals can drive a person to suicide if they do not seek a medical correction of the condition. When one finds that one’s personal gender incongruency combines with an unrelenting societal insistence upon a properly gendered expression of behaviour, the enharmonics of the situation lead many to take their own lives. The hostile attitude of many in society often exacerbates the pain and suffering of those with HBS. There is often disbelief and hostility directed towards those who reveal their HBS, and there are those who believe that any medical correction of anatomy is contrary to all reason and good-sense. In addition, many elements in society treat anyone with a gender-ambiguous appearance badly. They target the gender-incongruous and subject them to verbal threats and harassment, physical intimidation and violence, and use discrimination and ostracism to isolate such individuals socially. This situation is harsh enough to deal with, but a loss of support from family networks and friends often compound it. What finally brings many to the brink of despair is the loss of employment that often accompanies societal rejection of the individual. This is why untreated HBS causes suicide. It is not the HBS, but the pressures surrounding it that can drive people over the edge.

Too bad they can't have something like that in Saudi Arabia, Tehran, or Baghdad.

The pretext here is that they want to celebrate and support each other, not have to deal with haters.

Seems more like a recruitment drive for an organisation which an anti-male agenda to me.
Are haters only male ?

Are you suggesting that these 'groups' are frail to the point of requiring emotional and psychological support to attend a music festival?
