I don't believe that you are correct on that position at all. I do know women in tech that don't want to be a "woman in tech". Sounds like it would not make sense, but it does if you actually listen to them. This is not gatekeeping, the perspective is just different and it is incompatible with yours. As well as not perpetuating discrimination is incompatible with your perspective. To assume that people are drawn in by role models also discriminates for certain types of personality for that matter and it is enough for you to justify further discrimination. I don't think that is enough information based on evidence. Not the conference is discriminating, you are.
