Yet if she identifies as being a boy they would have put her into the boys room and it wouldn’t have been a hard no! What are these idiot teachers on? How can you possibly do safeguarding under conditions where you can’t use clear and accurate language, blanket rules are torn up and exemptions are given out with organisers making contradictory and personal decisions, and where whistle blowing and complaints are met with contempt? An utter clusterfuck of problems there

And it’s been deleted, right?

Boyfriend needs to identify as a girl for the duration of the tournament and share a room with her. Bloody ridiculous all this.

Creepy as fuck. And to have safeguarding so completely ignored.

She posted on reddit AITA

"Hey, soon going to play in a junior event for a mindsport. I don't want to say exactly what it is because its quite niche and i might be identifiable. There are 8 of us going, me 6 boys and a trans woman. I am 17 and the trans woman is also 17 and she only came out as trans about 3 months ago. Tbh I've always found her a bit annoying and also I'd always thought she had a crush on me and she has stalked me on social media and I noticed her staring at me before a few times and I kinda thought some of this was a bit creepy. She still has the same body as before when she was living as a boy and I feel like part of the reason why we don't share a room is because of her bodies and I was never really comfortable with it especially as I thought she had a crush on me. I was told I was sharing a room with her and I said that I wasn't really comfortable with that. I am completely fine with her being trans I just don't really want to share a room with her.
To start with I asked if I could share a room with my boyfriend who is also in the team but this got a definite no. I then asked if i could be in a room on my own but this is more money and this is all being funded. 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."
I was trying to sort this out without her knowing but unfortunately she found out and she messaged me about it. She said that she would respect my space and that she just wanted us to be friends but she also said that she had "always imagined having my body" and always thought about what it would be like. She clearly meant it as a compliment but it made me feel really weird that she thinks of me like that and now I just can't get this image out of my head of her looking at me when I am asleep and imagining she has my body and it really creeps me out. It just makes me really uncomfortable.
I was messaging my friend from another country who I have played online with quite a bit over COVID and is going and the only girl in her team and she offered that I could share a room with her. I asked my coach about this and he said that he thought he'd heard enough of this and he talked in quite a patronising way about team spirit and he again told me I was a prima donna and I told him how she told me she had always imagined having my body but he said that this wasn't a big deal. I don't know if I am right to be making a big deal of this or not or if i am right to be uncomfortable with the situation?"
Naturally this was deleted and her account has been banned.
