It is not about rights, but about being inclusive.

My view is that the line should have 'women' only as trans-men will
not believe that a group (WFS) for women would be able to address
their issues in the first place because of social conditioning. But
many other feminists will stick to what was stated earlier.

In a "code of conduct" guidelines, I don't have a problem in being inclusive.
