EXCLUSIVE: Canadian Mother Was Told To Be More "Inclusive" After Complaining About A Male Wearing A "Child's Bikini" While Showering With Young Girls At Her Local Pool - Reduxx

The mother of a young girl in British Columbia, Canada, is speaking out after a man in a pink, sparkly bikini — adorned with sparkles, frills and princess tiaras — was found showering in the female changing room of her local public pool. After reportin...

Because Canada has abandoned the power of choice and given up all tools to resist ideological tyranny?

"Everyone is welcome in our centres in the changeroom where they feel most safe."

"Everyone" clearly not including the women and girls who feel most safe in a changing room which doesn't have men in it.

And we used to think Canadians were the sensible ones! This is madness. But they've an election coming up, haven't they?

By October next year at the latest. In a current poll of polls, the Conservatives are on 41.2% and the Liberals are on 23.9%.

If the election were held right now, the Conservatives could win well over 200 seats and be virtually assured of forming a majority government.

TempestTost · 21/11/2024 00:26

Ah, Saanich. No surprise there.

Evidently Reduxx have seen the emails exchanged between the mother and the pool's management.

Read the article again.

Why?

In Canada, the land of the Fake Giant Titted Schoolteacher?

Sleepydoor · 21/11/2024 00:48

I live in Canada quite near the bizarre schoolteacher actually but I don't believe anything so ridiculous has ever happened. We're not that far gone here. I think this is bs.

The co-founder and editor, Anna Slatz is a neo nazi apologist and associated with Rebel News, which regularly manufactures/incites news stories. I'd believe her as far as I could throw her.

Bizarre that someone would think this isn’t true, when it isn’t the most batshit thing to come out of Canada. Reduxx reporters like Amy Hamm have been consistently proven to be right about everything. A man in a bikini in women’s changing rooms isn’t far fetched for Canada at all.

But sure, let’s minimise women’s concerns and pretend stuff doesn’t happen, like all the other things that haven’t happened either.

Sleepydoor · 21/11/2024 01:37

I haven't minimized women's concerns at all. I think the idea of this happening in Canada is batshit crazy. I know people who work at parks and rec and they take this kind of thing very seriously. They would remove the guy and call the cops. I think Reduxx is seriously suspect. That's just my opinion.

Also, Amy Hamm is not a "reporter" or a journalist. She's a nurse who is currently awaiting a discipline hearing decision.

NotBadConsidering · 21/11/2024 02:01

You don’t think Canada is crazy enough for this?! 🤣🤣

Crazy stuff in Canada:

Amy Hamm disciplined for liking JK Rowling.
Meghan Murphy accosted at a library for hosting a feminist event.
Rat nailed to rape crisis centre.
Johnathan Yaniv took a selfie of himself in a women’s toilet with girls in background.
Yaniv attempted to sue immigrant woman for refusing to wax his balls.
Massive fake breast teacher.
Man in teenage girls swimming race.

That just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Of course a man in a girl's swimming outfit in women’s changing rooms isn’t outlandish at all.

TempestTost · 21/11/2024 02:22

We could also add Canada, where men can self-identify into women's prisons, and when female prisoners ask the Elzabeth Frye society to help them challenge this, the EF people refuse. Because they serve all women, even the male ones.

The underlying issue in Canada is that the law supports self-id. So this guy says he's a woman, he is legally allowed in the women's changing room.

At least, so far that is how the law has been interpreted.

Can you give one documented example of a man in a child's bikini being removed from a female changing room in Canada in the last 5 years?

Preferably reported by an approved reporting institution by an approved reporter.

Reduxx have been proven consistently right and take accuracy seriously. Just because they are doing this on a shoestring doesn't mean they are less worthy. They break key stories which the mainstream outlets repeat. Amy is well known as a local hero of course people would come to her with a story about this kind of thing. One hopes that most places would stop this behaviour but maybe this location is fully captured. Maybe the management is dodgy. As the report says something similar happened in another town.

There is a good Canada election thread here. The Liberals are screwed, but how far the Conservatives will push back on gender remains to be seen. A lot want to fight back for sure. The main change will be the lack cover from federal government for whatever abuses the genderists are up to I suspect. I think the awful stuff we hear about from Canada is only the tip of the iceberg.

Really?

The first email from Bree Dobler, the assistant manager of the recreation centre, says
"..the District of Saanich welcomes and celebrates diversity, and we encourage visitors to our Recreation Facilities to use the restroom or changeroom with which they identify and where they feel most safe."

Her second email says "…everyone’s gender identity and expressions are valid. Everyone is welcome in our centres in the changeroom where they feel most safe. Gender expression and identity is protected under BC’s Human Rights Code and we are proud to have a Diversity in Changerooms Policy in our centres."

So tell me, do you really think the staff would have removed the guy and called the cops?

You’ve not seen the video of the camera crew being thrown out for asking about the 50 year old man who identifies as a teenage girl being allowed to compete with school girls in swimming events?

I have read the comments and I take some of your points but I also think journalistic integrity is important. I don't like neo nazi apologists -- is that not allowed on the feminist board? Okay...

I invite you to reflect on the content of the latter part of your content and consider whether it holds up to a nanosecond of scrutiny.

ETA: Just to reiterate, I'm not in favour of adult males showering with young children in the setting described above, whether or not the adult is clad in a bikini or more clothing.

As above, the invitation was to reflect on the latter part of your previous comment.

It's a shame that you didn't understand that or affect not to understand it.

By the by, I could affect to wonder if you're in favour of the scenario outlined in the OP but that would be absurd. I choose to believe that you're engaging with some degree of good faith.
