That's like refusing to make costumes for women of, let's say, Hitler-Jugend. It's not against women themselves but persons who are pushing for hateful ideology.
FYI after WW2 American army held a trial against a German symphonic conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler solely because he did not refuse to hold concerts for Nazis.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
