<p>&#8220;WTF Nights&#8221; is what the Davis Bike Collective is calling their bimonthly event during which men are not welcome in the shop. The shop has close ties with the University of California-Davis, a notoriously liberal college. The shops managers say that they started WTF nights in order to give women and trans people of Davis and the surrounding area time and a place to discover and enjoy bicycle repair without the presence of men. ;</p>

<div>No statement of theirs suggested that there were complaints about men disturbing female or trans customers or interfering with their ability to use the shop. The Davis Bike Collective&#8217;s website simply states that women, transgender people, and &#8220;genderqueer&#8221; people are marginalized in the bicycle community. This bike shop is attempting to &#8220;empower&#8221; these groups by excluding anyone that is not a member. ;</div>

<div>A spokesperson for Davis Bike Collective clarified that men are not actually banned from the premises of that shop during WTF hours, but rather, extremely unwelcome. If a man enters during those times, a shop employee will ask them if they feel that they are a part of the Women-Trans-Femme group, and if they answer no, they will be told that this is not a space they are invited into, not ordered to leave. ;</div>

<div>It&#8217;s unlikely that a man would choose to remain in the shop after being made to feel unwelcome and discriminated against due to his gender. ;</div>
