At my high school there is this coding club just for girls but there isn’t one for boys OR for both.
I like computers and I want to get into coding but I can’t because the coding club is just for girls. People who defend this say that “Girls need to feel encouraged to code.” Yeah you can encourage girls to code but don’t exclude boys. It’s pretty backwards to say “I’m gonna fight sexism in STEM by being sexist.” Just imagine the outrage if they opened a boys only coding club and didn’t do one for girls. That thing would be shutdown in an instant. And girls not wanting to go into STEM is ok same with boys, it’s a choice. It’s not like “sorry you can’t attend this school of science because you don’t have a penis.” Nothing is stopping girls from doing STEM, most of the techy people I know are women.
So what do you guys think?

I completely agree. Such BS.
I would first ask the school to start a coding club for boys or both.
I give them 7 days to announce it.
Afterwards, I'd go to the local news outlet and complain.
Start a petition and have everyone sign it. Remember that there are more girls in college than men and they still give special attention. Whenever have you seen a white boys only scholarship to college. As weird as that sounds, it's actually needed in this day and age.
I'd also post all over the internet in every forum I could. I'd mention the name of ht school and who I talked to that said this discriminatory practice was fine to do.
If you want to reman anonymous then just post on the internet anonymously about it.
I would not let them get away with it but it's your choice because it's your life. Good luck
