(Basically, SF is for white, cis hetro males, by white, cis, hetero males. Anyone else is culturally appropriating it.)
The SF field has always been open to everyone at every level, so the basic anti-diversity claim from the Woke crowd is an outright lie. This has been pointed out to them on numerous occasions over the years, yet they persist in the lie, repeat it often and ever louder, thus revealing their own disingenuous nature, and all the while labeling anyone who disagrees with their viewpoint a racist, sexist, homophobe, because these are the tried and true strawmen guaranteed to shut down any argument.
They scream and holler about cultural appropriation when it comes to the white oppressors in SF, yet use smears and intimidation3 to aid in their attempts to appropriate (and thus balkanize–divide and conquer) the SF field in service to the lie born of the double helix comprised of their social/political agenda of non-diversity in the field.

Translation. I think this is about SJWs ruining the science fiction genre but I just don't know.

Everyone who isn't a cis, hetero, white male is ruining science-fiction, writing non-cis-hetero-white-male stories. The nerve of them.

Star Trek: Nyota Uhura. Geordi LaForge. Guinan. Benjamin Sisko. Tuvok. Travis Mayweather. Michael Burnham.
Star Wars: Lando Calrissian. Mace Windu. Finn. Rachel.
Babylon 5: Dr. Stephen Franklin.
Gene Roddenberry. George Lucas. J. Michael Straczynski: all white.
Hasn't done them any harm.
Just ask their fans, OP.

The first science-fiction work ever written, Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus, was written by a woman. It was also, obviously, a critique of the science-for-science's-sake mindset.
Because of course a self-identified Sci-Fi fan doesn't know anything about the history of the genre.
SF? Science Fiction? Yeah, there have been quite a few women authors. Check out The Jane Austen Book Club.
No, it has not always been open to everyone at every level.
Women characters have been laughably sexist, for decades.
How large a percentage of personas in SF are non-white non-cis non-sexy women?
Balkanize?

Frankenstein is the first modern sci-fi story or one of the first but there plenty older stories could be seen as sci-fi. Though Mary Shelly is responsible for pretty much creating the mad scientist.

I am not bothered when science fiction uses people of all kinds and species of many genders. Why? It does me no harm and can make characters and story interesting
