SWEARY GODMOTHER WINS!

[TerfingHell]

Swim England have overturned the rule allowing men into women's changing rooms!

Just shows what you can achieve when you man-up and show the world you've got the balls!

How do you know?

YES!

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I appreciate the credit but really @YesItsADebate did this. And we have only had it pulled from the website, but that's a bloody good start. I'm hoping that they will be rethinking and publishing something that doesn't put women and girls at risk if they continue down this avenue.

It does show that the smallest act can make a difference. Two (wo)men went swimming and brought something to the national consciousness and started to make people think about changes. This is something everyone can do.

Keep on with the minor acts of civil disobedience!

What what

nice work

They take advice from Stonewall though, and the Rainbow laces guidance is still there which is pretty similar to the original PDF which has been taken down. I'm a Swim Team manager, so I am a bit invested in this!

I hope they do have major rethink but I think it may be kicked into the long grass whilst they see what the Government does. The document Swim England put out was trying to be bit ahead of the expected change to the law.

Bloody well done to you both.
Let’s hope they continue along this line.

Which is why we need to keep #ManFriday-ing and keep all the other pressures up. Ahead of the law is breaking the law, and I'm fucked if I'm going to let this get snuck through by stealth.

Excellent

This is a grand start!

Well done Hannah and Amy with the lovely voices calming speaking important words.

Yay this is good news

Awareness grows one factoid at a time.

Marvellous, absolutely marvellous!! Well done for being incredibly brave

Absolutely amazing!! Well done to the both of you!!

👏👏👏👏👏

Just brilliant!

A step in the right direction finally! Lets hope it continues that way.

Well done

It was genius, I'm delighted!

Keep on with the minor acts of civil disobedience!

Actually, wasn't this an act of (very) civil obedience, you followed the rules?

Excellent job, you two! The tide is starting to turn.

Amazing! Two women, civil disobedience and a sense of humour. It's been all over the papers and got them backtracking.
Both

@ErrolTheDragon you are riggt - it's obedience

Well done Sweary and Hannah! You're both sheroes.

Brilliant work, well done.
It's amazing what taking the piss can achieve.

Excellent! You two are amazing
