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.

😁

Yes, lol. It's the description of the man walking into the teenage changing room that's the problem 🤣

It's almost ironic how unfair it must feel when the subtleties of a minor language tweak are used in a way that works against you.

😆

I'm going to have to take issue with Datun saying swan in and swan out.

It's an insult to swans.

Any decent man wouldn’t entertain walking through a changing room being used by women and girls.

Wandering through is a bit over-euphemistic though, it suggests absent-minded, accidental presence. It was clearly quite deliberate walking through a place Anne did not need to walk through for some clear motive of Anne's own.

I'm trying to imagine Anne and wondering how she got from one end of the changing room to the other 🤔Tiptoe? Glide? March? Skip? So many possibilities

My guess is very slowly 🐌

To be fair you could sort of imagine a situation where someone interested in swimming typed “breast” and then “ stroke” into a search engine and accidentally found themselves on a site about breastfeeding and masturbation.

No?

To me, these actions suggest a very deliberate long term campaign with milestones and tactics. It begins with small transgressions and when no push back is experienced, escalation. All of this is done with a cloak (disguise) of ever so humble reasonableness and harmlessness which both disarms objectors and provides some plausible deniability. The confusion over the law and DEI provide cover. This is not a delusion. People like this exhibit dark triad personality traits. They need a firm "no" in response.

Wielding a truncheon yelling “Respect my authoritah”?

(For any South Park fans.)

Skid. Leaving a mark!

Or like this?

God, I love that film.

Sorry. There were quite a few other words I could have used. But, you know - monitorz earwigging..

"I tell ya, it's a whole different sex!"

🤣

I wish I could read that exchange.

Unfortunately the Bundled One has blocked me (I think I pointed out to someone Semenya’s biological sex and got stuck on a TRA block list - bloody facts eh?).

Heh, it’s an apposite clip in so many ways.

This is actual footage

Agreed. We've always known that this assault on women's boundaries and safety is the target of too many middle aged men. This is particularly stark as it was teenage girls naked in a changing room all too scared to complain in case they were accused of transphobia!
I saw this earlier - it's a barrister who is not in the pay of any biased lobby groups and who, as far as I know, does not misrepresent the law for their own agenda. He's arguing that the law clearly allows organisations to legitimately bar men (no matter how they identify) from accessing naked women and girls in changing rooms and it needs amending to make this absolutely clear.

I’ve used breaststroke as a search term quite often, but I only get YouTube videos on swimming technique.

What am I doing wrong?

(Actually, don’t answer that).

I have them on mute to stop me responding to their tweets, as the temptation is too great if I see them!😁

I had to close my eyes to take the attached!

Ta muchly @Boiledbeetle !

I keep thinking about those poor teenage girls trying to get in and out of uncomfortable costumes. Trying to concentrate on winning the races they have trained for, got up at the crack of dawn for, given up so much for.

And then an obviously male person (Coombes has said that they 'don't pass') has been wandering around while they are undressed and made then feel awkward and vulnerable and embarrassed.

There are a huge number of reasons why we should be encouraging girls to do sport. This kind of uncomfortable experience will put many girls off for life.

Is one male person's desire for validation more important than hundreds of girls' need to enjoy exercise?

I do love it when the AC's of this world take to Twitter and express their unreasonable outrage and then get hoist by their own petard by people looking behind the scenes.
