UK “women’s” final

You are just repeating what you previously said with the exception of the rebranding and marketing.
And I'd repeat it again, and again, and again. As I am not an expert, monied influential person or anyone who is going to change anything. I am just an individual who wants everyone to enjoy the game, free from preconceived notions that moving a stick backward and forward is related to biology... I tend to believe that actually, yes, this difference is related to 'gender' and the psychological damage that this fabrication infers onto players.
Im genuinely interested in how you think the event would be perfect and inclusive for everyone to thrive in. Is it something you can bullet point/outline or something like that?

If a single event is too specific for you, can you list how you would change pool events/tournaments in general?
Sure. All events should be open. Done.
Getting there is a road to travel. Creating the context for ALL individuals to thrive, is a long journey. Beginning with players at the youngest age being exposed to the game in a way that helps ALL individuals grow and thrive. Long existing bias needs to be dealt with.

How Pool Evolved from Royalty to Bar Rooms

I trust the site I linked to leaps and bounds over Wikipedia, and if pool was already a "thing" by 1715 it's not a stretch to think that the room in Quinta Regaleira goes back that far as well. But who knows?
The site you linked to quotes other sites verbatim without giving credit. For example, it quotes directly from the Britannica site about some religious problems. And other of the material seems to have been lifted from Wikipedia. I think the site is called "StolenHistory.net" for a reason.

How is this a Joss?

Not exactly. Ernie Chen had his own shop in Canada and teamed-up with Dan for advice/knowledge etc. Tyler(Dan's daughter btw) cues were made by Ernie in Canada. Not sure what went south but they broke up and Ernie started Falcon and also made early Predator butts til they switched to Chinese factory. Ernie kept making Falcon's til the exchange rate and other reasons caused him to shut down Canadian oper. and move back to Taiwan. His co., KPS, is still making Falcon's as well as a OEM builder for brands like the Bear's that Bustamante used for years. Current site: https://www.falconcues.com/EN/views/home/index.php For Falcon fans if you click 'old magazine ads' at the bottom you can see brochures for the Canadian made Falcons.
Good info. I wasn't sure whether Falcon cues was still in business. They were pretty active in the early 2000s, I remember that. They were a sponsor in the tournament circuit I played, Planet Pool, which was in the Mid-Atlantic region. By teaming up with Dan, I wonder if any were built in the Joss shop early on. Otherwise, what does teaming up mean. I have no idea.

UK “women’s” final

In the current context what can you do? That division shouldn't need to be there, but the context that's laid before it makes it so. The whole context in which the game is approached from the 'grassroots' (Youngest level) needs to change - atmosphere, branding, marketing. It's all quite specifically tailored to fit the current demographic, which has been discussed in detail the last time this exact same topic was brought up... But as I mentioned earlier to someone who capitalized the fact that it won't change, that's right, because of the profit made from this model. Whether it’s good for the development of players or not. As I said to Gar, equal opportunity is not some being allowed into the circle, or some feeling comfortable, it’s creating a circle for everyone to thrive.
