No nudity in changing rooms or no penises in the ladies?

I've just seen this news article:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-65133860

It's about a woman who was told off for being naked in the ladies changing rooms. I think she was an actual woman. Does anyone else think that policies like this are needed only because some TW feel entitled to not only be in the women's but to flash their male tackle at the women and children who just want to change in peace?

An Australian woman was told she had broken rules by being naked in a changing room.

I’m a woman. I don’t particularly want to see anyone naked in a changing room. Why can’t people use cubicles?

“From the sounds of it I don't think there ARE cubicles. So its a bit like saying "have a shower but don't get the floor wet”

Every public space I use has cubicles. Wouldn’t use one that didn’t. Thank goodness! Remember the open changing rooms in clothes shops as a teen. Awful. Each to their own, though.

Idon’t particularly want to see anyone naked in a changing room.

you don’t have to look, stand with your face to the lockers & avert your gaze downwards

So women are having to modify their behaviour in their OWN changing rooms to accommodate MEN?

The men should fuck off to their own changing rooms.

I don't know that is the reason, I'm just wondering what lead to this change.

What is no nudity protecting children from?

Seeing naked entitled males in ladies changing rooms. It's not just seeing a male body, it's seeing the body of a male who feels entitled to stomp all over other's boundaries in the name of self actualisation, i.e. the more dangerous males. To be clear, I am not saying all TW are more dangerous, just those who don't give a shit about women's rights.

Victim blaming seems to be a specialty of the TRA brigade.

I think if a changing room wants to enforce a no nudity policy then it should provide adequate cubicles for women to use to change in. Saying they should change under towels in a communal space is fucking ridiculous.

And I'd always advocate for a no men in the female changing rooms, whether they like to think they are a woman or not. And regardless of cubicles/nudity policies.
