Without weighing in on the larger question about how to provide safe spaces so that all users are comfortable participating in Wikimedia projects, I want to clear up the misunderstanding related to the
WMF non-discrimination policy. In WMF Legal's opinion, the non-discrimination policy does not prohibit users from setting up a women-only discussion in their user space, because the policy was passed by the Foundation board to apply to acts taken by the Foundation and Foundation employees, not individual users. Other policies may, of course, apply. —
