there’s no point in talking here but once again:
anyone who is playing stupid games going to either the men or women’s pond when they don’t identify w that gender deserves to be turfed out. The protest was rightly identified - as was the man mentioned earlier, hiding in the bushes - as trying to test/cheat. That not allowed; it’s also not right. Same rules for both.
Given that transmen can now swim at the men’s pond, male space has been - in your view - surely just as undermined as female space has been at KLP. I don’t agree w this way of thinking, but if you do, it surely works both ways. You need to acknowledge the male loss (if it is one) as just as real as the female one.
I love the pond, and swim there most days. I value it because it is, as I have said before, a space where the male way of doing things does not dominate.
i utterly abhor the way in which the ‘women of faith’ argument is bandied about by people who claim to speak on behalf of others but only care about those people in the context of their own narrow concerns. Speak for own self - as I have! - don’t pretend you have the right to speak for others.
Say it as it is: you don’t like it, I don’t mind. Neither of us has any more right to our opinion than anyone else. And absolutely nobody in power is going to listen to any of us!
