I would be in a blind rage if I was one of those parents, this is so horrible.

Is this just a case of a man competing in a female category or are they also pretending to be a different age as well?

It seems that way. Great, innit??

It’s not totally clear but it appears to be a swimming club for schoolgirls and young adults. So ‘Melody’ appears to be presenting as a teenage girl.

I can’t imagine an actual 50 year old woman thinking it was ok to compete against 16 year olds

An old fashioned pervert fully enabled by useful idiots.

Yep. In the not so distant past he’d be called a dirty old perv and chased out of town. But now put on a wig, adopt a strippers name and suddenly it’s brave, inspiring and applauded - how the fuck did we get here?

The video reportage on this from Rebel News is so good, I love how pushy David Menzies is no matter how aggressively people try to stop him or how fast they run away from him 😁

Restores your faith in Canadians a little bit 🙃

Great reporting but it’s shocking the people who are more concerned with trying to shut down his filming than they are with safe guarding teenage girls from a man being in their changing rooms.

"They said: 'In partnership with Swimming Canada, Swim Ontario has a robust system of policies, procedures and rules that support our member clubs in providing a competitive experience that is safe, welcoming and inclusive for all participants, "

I notice they missed a bit in their statement...

"Unless you are a girl or woman, then we don't give a fuck about you, just shut up and deal with it you fucking bigots."

I mean if they are going to keep coming out with this shit they could at least be honest in what they mean!

Missing the point slightly, but how appropriate that the competition is named for the inventors of the famous “gift”:

“The Trojan Cup in Barrie, Ontario”

Furious parents claim Melody Wiseheart shared a locker room with their young daughters
^
They claimed parents used towels to setup a makeshift tent to protect the girls that had to change in front of Wiseheart.^

'Parents'? Or MOTHERS?

This stinks, the fact that this person studies youth psychology and then engineers their way into a changing room with children.

Yep. Absolutely disgraceful. Bloody creepy pervert 😡

Sisterpita · 16/12/2023 05:47

The quote in the article
'Swimming Canada and Swim Ontario believe swimming is for everyone... people of all shapes, sizes, genders, beliefs and backgrounds should have the opportunity to swim to the best of their ability... with the expectation that our registrants treat each other with respect and dignity, and keep our sport environment free from harassment and abuse.'

is laughable. How exactly are the women and girls being treated with respect and dignity in the changing rooms?

Beinghonestforonce · 16/12/2023 03:16

God bless david, the fact this adult male came 6th out of 8 against young girls in a competitive events points to this not being about swimming talent -_-
