“Non-women” is a subset of “everybody”.
Comment on Discussion on 'Missing women on Lemmy and decentralised networks'

Even in this thread I’d rather phrase it explicitly to include everyone - I’ve seen statements like this interpreted by some individuals as “make it welcoming for women at all costs, which may include making it openly hostile for people not meeting my specific definition of woman”, which didn’t have a very pretty end result.

I do appreciate where you’re coming from, there. Some people will unfortunately take any opportunity to exclude others.
