A female minor is speaking out against the YMCA’s transgender inclusion policy after she encountered a naked man while showering in the women’s locker room at a San Diego location.

Earlier this month, 17-year-old Rebecca Phillips was showering at the Santee facility after her swim workout when she noticed a naked man in the women’s locker room. Phillips immediately went back into the shower terrified and hid behind the curtain until he was gone, she told the Santee city council last week. Phillips then ran into the bathroom stall to quickly change before confronting the people at the front desk about the situation.

I think these trans policies push things way too far! If they want to make the bathrooms co-ed then at least say it out loud so that people who don't feel comfortable with that can go to other establishments.

The problem is not the YMCA....

Going to "another establishment" accomplishes NOTHING....

The problem is woke, liberal government.


The LAW in The People's Republic of California states that a person must be able to use the facilities that match their own "gender identity." The YMCA had no choice here, this man (who claims to identify as a woman) had the choice to use WHATEVER locker room/shower that he/she/it felt matched their identity. The Y doesn't need to be informed about this "choice." And what happened in this case is no doubt happening in many places: MINORS, yes children, are being "exposed" to naked men (of any and all ages). Too bad, they need to get over it. The person naked in their locker room/shower (regardless of age) had the RIGHT, the legal civil right, to be there. Women have no right to privacy. Children have no rights here.

Welcome to liberalism. Welcome to the Democrat Party. And don't say to yourself, "Ah, but that's wacko California!" What happens in California never stays in California. Liberals learn what they can get away with.... and apply it wherever they can.

I'm glad I don't have daughters. But I do have a wife. And yes, I'm mad. But I doubt we can do anything about it, California is a "one-party" state with the courts and press are just puppets of that political party. Republicans and citizens can complain - as they are doing in this case in San Diego - but the press is calling them "hateful" and "homophobic" And the TV news (with one exception) and the local UT Newspaper aren't reporting that this person was nude or that there were children present, they aren't even reporting it was a locker room/shower, they specifically reported this man/woman 'wanted to use the restroom." Nope, he was in walking around nude with children present, as those children are reporting.

I'm surprised the feminists aren't up in arms about this. Decades of pushing for "women only" spaces have been erased because now a man can say he's a woman and walk right on in.

I'm also surprised the solution to the problem, and many other associated issues, is to get over the obsession with expecting to see other people with no clothes on and introduce individual cubicles for getting changed. Put in proper doors (not the stupid garbage the US insists on installing, where an inch gap around the door is all but mandatory) and you don't even need separate changing rooms for men and women. As a bonus families can share a changing room, and it also solves the issue of helping with a disabled person of the opposite gender.

Of course that would also stop exposing young girls to naked men, so perhaps there's less "tolerance" required than the law demands.

But, but, they still have the right to kill their own children, don't they? :unsure:

Yeah I read that lately, that women in America had to have free toilets. Women in Holland are easier. One woman peed on the street, cause there were only urinals for men and she got a fine and went to court and the judge said she could have used an urinal and then there was a protest pee woman, that word in Dutch means pee and complain, where women would make pics to show you can't use those things, but for the rest noone complains that there are almost no toilets and you have to pay for them.

I saw a headline on the New York Times today about Meta's nudity policy. Apparently Instagram took down some pictures of "non binary and transgender" people with bare chests.

So now it seems if you get your boobs out for a picture it's unacceptable but if you say you're non-binary it's OK. Sooner or later this is going to raise questions about whether, say, a topless picture of a 13-year-old biological girl can be considered child porn if they identify as a boy.
