Eighty-year-old Julie Jaman called out a biological man she says was watching semi-naked young girls in the women’s locker room in Washington State.
She told the biological male who identifies as a female to get out.
She alerted YMCA staff when she was told she was being “discriminatory,” and then permanently banned from the pool.
Eighty-year-old Julie Jaman called out a biological man she says was watching semi-naked young girls in the women’s locker room.
She told the biological male who identifies as a female to get out.
She alerted YMCA staff when she was told she was being “discriminatory,” and then permanently banned from the pool.
KIRO Radio in Seattle reports:
“I saw a man in a woman’s bathing suit watching maybe four or five little girls pulling down their suits in order to use the toilet,” Jaman recalled. “I asked if he had a penis and he said it was none of my business. I told that man to ‘get out right now.’ ”
After alerting a pool staff member to the situation, Jaman said she was “stunned” when the staffer told her that she was “being discriminatory,” “was banned from the pool forever,” and that they were calling the police…"
Jaman says she spoke to the YMCA CEO:
“I told her there were no signs posted to give women warning,” Jaman said. “She said there were Pride posters posted all over and she assumed that was adequate to inform women what to expect.” According to Jaman, Bart also said, “we take pride and everyone is welcome.’
“That’s fine with me, except that they do not provide alternatives for women who choose not to be undressing in front of men,” Jaman continued. “Our pool is a very old pool. We just have two shower rooms, dressing rooms, one for men, one for women.”
Plans for a gender-neutral or family changing room have not occurred, she added.
