Reverse discrimination isn’t a thing. It is a good sign that the person using the term is a moron because as you noted, discrimination is just discrimination.
But minorities and women having their own spaces isn’t discrimination. Women’s sports leagues isn’t discrimination. It is a response to being discriminated against for decades or centuries. So are black colleges, which were a response to being excluded from most universities. They exist because otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to do those things because of the actual discrimination. It simply isn’t the same thing at all because of the larger context.
On a side note, the whole transphobic ‘no trans women in women’s sports’ bullshit is discrimination because it further excludes an even smaller portion of the population that is discriminated against even more than women.
