17 yo girl complains about being forced to share a room with a trans "girl" who told her "she" "imagines having her body." She's told she is transphobic and a "prima donna"

Reddit said they were sacked. Why would you think otherwise?

How can they not see the hypocrisy? "You don't always get what you want in life"?

Unless you are male and want to share a room with a girl, then you very much do get that.

@cattycatty12 has it spot on.

OMG, the comments!

This is what happens when we are told we must pretend someone's feelings magically change their sex.

It's what happens when people use nonsense language.

There is no biological difference between a man and a man who 'identifies' as a woman.

The 17 year old girl isn't allowed to share with her 17 year old boyfriend because no mixed sex allowed, yet she must share with another male because he claims to be a woman?

Why is it suddenly this girls job to provide validation for this male by having her boundaries forcibly removed and being gaslighted by people who should be protecting her?

It all just proves everyone knows exactly what sex everyone is, because it's always the female being ignored and abused and the male given whatever they demand.

"imagined having my body" - that is AGP. I feel sorry for them also, instead of addressing why they feel that way with counselling, they are labeled /allowed label themselves as trans and probably heading down a spiral into a miserable adulthood

Eugh! I sometimes have a read of AITA when I've run out of MN threads to waste time with read. I won't give them the clicks anymore.

Agree the parents should go on the rampage over this. If something happened to that girl, the coach would soon find himself in court.

the trans woman 17yr old male still has a penis right, and will be sharing a room alone with a 17yr old female, who is understandably uncomfortable with that as she's he's made some creepy comments and behaviour towards her in the past. Wtaf. World has gone mad.

Language makes a difference. That's why its under attack.

As far as I understand it, Challenor still is an admin.

You can understand all you like and still maintain boundaries and say no

Reddit is a sexist sewer. Wasn't Aimee Challenor one of the admins a while back. So glad I dumped it.

Our squad leader told me that not wanting to share a room with her was transphobic and he said I was being a "prima donna."

Only a man could think like this. Suspect the transphobic stance is him putting on his Teflon coat & avoiding the issue. So much at risk here & safeguarding out the window.

In 20 years time we could be looking back and seeing these times as the 'jimmy saville' scandal of this generation.

Prima Donna? You tend to think language like that died out, don’t you? Young woman wants boundaries and privacy. Bad young woman.

Has this 17 yo girl got no parents? They should be fighting her corner. She's being sacrificed on the altar of niceness - don't do it, girl. Be nasty.

This!

And the post is an example of how men (the coach) just don't get it. He's not of the sex that is leered at and subject to the male gaze.

Great post

Reddit is insanely misogynist; probably one of the worst places to post about something like this. And yes, their mods will delete a thread if there are too many unapproved responses (anything not totally male-centred). Also it's useless for any type of practical/legal/policy advice unless you state your location and someone familiar with it happens to see the post.

LOL at this: I would have said not the asshole but you wanting to share a room with a man, your boyfriend, but not her changed my mind. It honestly just sounds like you see her as a man and don't want to share a room with her. I find there's a difference between sharing a room with someone I'm in a consensual relationship with versus any random and especially one who gives me creep vibes. Consent exists even if it makes you mad, bro.

I think the safest thing to do is for her and the bf to identify as a specific third gender - nonbinary would do - for the duration of the trip, that way they're sure to be paired together as there are then two of them and no other people in the category.

“You don’t always get what you want” if you’re a woman 😡

Oh yes, the old be nice, be kind, move over women! 🤮

Dear god the replies on that thread. 🤮‘it’s a learning experience’

I never comment on these threads but this is just not right, the trans woman still has a penis right, and will be sharing a room alone with a 17yr old female, who is understandably uncomfortable with that as she's made some creepy comments and behaviour towards her in the past. Wtaf. World has gone mad.

I was involved in lots of youth trips when I was in my late teens (mid 2000s so not so long ago) and we were never allowed to have mixed sex rooms, even though most of guys were gay men who were good friends and no threat whatsoever.

Jesus. That girl should not go on that trip if she has to share a room with that creepy fucker. I would personally punch that coach for his attitude. At least he'd think twice before treating girls so callously. Imagine insisting that she has no choice and refusing all the other options. Absolute fuckers.

Male, female or trans, EVERY man woman or trans person has the right to feel comfortable with who they share a room with. Being a trans woman should have no baring on this 17 year old wanting to feel comfortable as she sleeps.
