Entitled male refused access to female changing area (despite wearing skirt)

[ACatCalledPushka]

Well done to the hotel staff. ‘trans ‘woman’ given key to the unisex changing room instead of the female changing room ‘trans woman’ not happy.

Seems like Coombes’ services were not required for the last day of the Champs. They were “disappointed”.

And yet has retweeted today’s DailyFail article with the headline British Swimming changes rules after parents complained that trans pool volunteer, 60, was wandering through female changing rooms while their teenage daughters were using them making the girls feel 'uncomfortable' which shows exactly why he was taken off the officials rota.

Even less reason for Anne to be anywhere near the changing rooms then!

Swim England needs review its policies again to ensure fairness for female competitors at Masters level.

Seems a bit ageist to have policies that disadvantage older (Masters) female swimmers.

AC wrote a very public article about the woman who objected to him using the womens changing room at his swimming club. He didn’t name the woman, but he gave her the pseudonym “Myra”.

He's a nasty, woman hating piece of work.

Am I misreading this quote from the DM article or was this protocol already in place before this incident and AC disobeyed it had to be reminded of the protocols already in place? If so then its much worse and a real red flag about intent

"After implementing stricter guidelines to ban non-competitors entering the changing rooms, British Swimming has also heightened security in changing rooms, while accreditation checks and an email was distributed to remind volunteers not to use the changing rooms as a walkthrough.
The sports body said that once it had received a complaint about one of its volunteers, it 'immediately followed procedure to correctly identify the necessary facts'.
A spokesman added: 'Having established the details, relevant protocols were reviewed and all volunteers working on the event have been reminded of their responsibilities in adhering to our protocols.' British Swimming confirmed it passed on requests for comments to Ms Coombes. "

Here’s the ‘Myra’ article for anyone curious with no time to search the thread for it:

'Myra agreed to try it out... I think you mean myra was steam rollered into giving in

I was just wondering if the hotel has been made aware of the British Swimming situation. This thoroughly vindicates their staff member, in case anyone there had any doubts.

Why the need to deactivate if Anne has nothing to hide?

Anne believes the position taken here is so far in the 'right' that it needs to be upheld and fought for in the face of all objection from women and the parents of the girls who use these facilities. Anne is by no means backward in coming forward to argue this case in numerous blogs and tweets, doubtless in the confidence of the movement's support against the flagrant defiance of non-compliant female people.

What occurs to me is if they're so confident of the rightness of their position, why the need to cover Anne's tracks?

'Anne' needs to be kept well away from women changing, especially young women.

Just had a quick look at some of Anne's early tweets. Some interesting ones from 2015 such as "This is the real me. A transvestite."

I wonder what prompted Anne to stop identifying as a transvestite and start identifying as transgender.

Good for Anne being anything Anne wants to be.

Anne just can't remove single sex provision from women and girls for their own purposes.

According to the trans widows threads it’s just a matter of time.

According to Anne’s Reddit account transition began because Anne was able to cross dress all-day every-day during lockdown.
Anne just didn’t want to go back to the office in a suit and tie, I guess?

I would imagine the same monitors who have been busy on the other thread about volunteer swim officials and their behaviour will be all over this one, striving for maximum deletions….

As always.

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Not much delete-worthy stuff that I’ve seen. I particularly enjoy the contortions to avoid misgendering, “Anneself”, etc, which must drive the #BeKinders wild.

Anne Coombes is off twitter

I think Anne may regret posting that tweet about re educating the hotel worker- it opened up a bit of a Pandoras box

Yes it has caused another jump in this whole struggle between rights

My daughter had this thing about not liking buttons down the front of her dress so, for a couple of years. she wore those dresses back-to-front.

The creep has a daughter. I wonder what she thinks of all this nonsense of him pretending to be a woman and the rest of it.

Maybe Anne should have thought about consequences of shouting their mouth off online - its spectacularly backfired

Ah, good job really, as I’ve been sorely tempted to open a new Twitter account. Torn between wanting to deplete Musk’s user base and wanting to be a newly-terf tweep.

Not surprised, given the (rightly deserved) pasting Anne was getting on Twitter.

Anne was learning that women and girls aren’t going to put up with this kind of behaviour.

Found his old blog, back when he was still going by Paul ..

"I suppressed those desires to be female and fitted in with the boys as best I could."

"I can remember wishing I was female at the age of seven."

So, in Anne's own words, wishing to be female is what makes someone a trans woman?

The views v likes😱😱😱 you need to click on the image for the two lots of figures. Id credit who tweeted them but Twitter refreshed as i saved the second one
