To say the IFPA's statement is disappointing and insufficient is an understatement.
"We made an email address, problem solved."
One man choosing to override the unanimous position of the Women's Advisory Board manages to make this worse than no action by showing how little regard IFPA has for them

An IFPA event became the center of a major controversy last weekend after a venue manager forcibly removed a trans woman from the women’s restroom and the TD allowed the event to proceed without interruption. The IFPA’s response has now created more controversy.
