(not for me, so I'm not sure how much I could respond to questions)

Is Leap for people who are i) female, ii) identify as a woman, or iii) both?

I ask because I have a few friends who are biologically female, but genderqueer (by which they mean that they don't prescribe to the cultural stuff that is usually attached to gender). Would this be suitable for them?

As a more general note, since this looks to be a community that's about inclusion and addressing discrimination, it might be worth taking care not to conflate "female" and "woman".

Thank you for asking. iii – My goal is to create an inclusive community. I'd say Leap is suitable for your friend. I am also learning as I go, so would love feedback!

I'd love to chime in on this particular question. I am biologically female, but am gender-nonconforming in how I actually present and identify. I still see tons of utility in a place like Leap. While I don't fit the traditional description of what a woman looks like, I still am very much treated like one in the workplace (not to mention all the years of socialization and cultural treatment as a woman)!
