    sadly it does at the highest level

    The swimmer told the outlet that other team members have spoken to the team’s coaches about possibly getting Thomas to change elsewhere from the rest of the team, but those discussions haven’t gone anywhere
    Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas admitted she is still dating women.Penn Athletics
    “Multiple swimmers have raised it, multiple different times,” she said. “But we were basically told that we could not ostracize Lia by not having her in the locker room and that there’s nothing we can do about it, that we basically have to roll over and accept it, or we cannot use our own locker room.”

    She added, “It’s really upsetting because Lia doesn’t seem to care how it makes anyone else feel. The 35 of us are just supposed to accept being uncomfortable in our own space and locker room for, like, the feelings of one.”

    Rachel Glines, 31, of Fairborn, had been charged with three counts of public indecency after patrons of the YMCA filed complaints with local police alleging that a “naked man” was using the women’s locker room.

    The incidents are said to have occurred in September and November 2022, with the third incident taking place “sometime between November 2021 and 2022,” leading Glines’s lawyers to argue the third charge should be dropped for vagueness about when the alleged exposure occurred.

    Witness testimony in court earlier this year claimed that Glines had been in a state of complete undress during all three incidents, which happened in the common area of the women’s locker room, with one woman saying she was shocked to see a “naked man” in the locker room, and another testifying that she could see Glines’s buttocks as they walked down the common hallway.

    The YMCA did note that posted locker room guidelines ask patrons to “remain properly covered while in public areas of the locker room.”
    I see no reason why you should not cover yourself if you were transitioning and using the destination genders changing rooms.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      Do any of you have any UK examples?

      (Americans are weird about lots of issues particularly sex education.)

              Nah, trans had nothing to do with it, that all came after he was arrested for 2 rapes, which is why everyone saw right through it.

              Is it even illegal to go into a changing room of the other gender and just get changed?

                I think your credibility left the room when you got your arse handed to you on a plate earlier in the thread.

                  Men attacking women isn't a new thing. Happens all the time. It shouldn't but it does.

                  Do you have examples of people in women's changing areas claiming to be women while waving their penis around?

                  Edit: Karen White wasn't on your post when I googled your examples. That sounds crazy and the fault of the prison authorities.

                      British Swimming confirmed that Ms Coombes used the changing rooms as a walkthrough route at the competition yesterday and was not using it as a changing facility so no separate area was needed.

                      After implementing stricter guidelines, British Swimming has also heightened security in changing rooms, while accreditation checks and an email was distributed to remind volunteers not to use the changing rooms as a walkthrough.

                      A trans woman claims her day was "spoilt" after a hotel spa refused to give her a key to the female changing room.

                      Anna Coombes alleged that staff "assumed" she wanted to use unisex changing rooms as she vented on Twitter.



                      Her claims have sparked a furious row online with critics including Sharron Davies.

                      The 65-year-old has since demanded that the worker at the Mercure Hotel in Sheffield is sent for gender sensitivity training.

                      A woman has spoken of her concern after twice encountering a "naked man" in the female changing rooms at the UEA Sportspark.

                      The woman, who did not wish to be named, said on two consecutive weeks she saw an individual with exposed male genitalia in the female facilities.

                      But she claims when she highlighted her concerns she was told by staff that it would be discriminatory to query the person.

                      But a Sportspark spokesman confirmed the centre does not allow men in women's changing spaces and vice versa.

                      But the woman said her and a friend she was visiting with were both left feeling "vulnerable and uncomfortable".

                      PureGym has been criticised by activists after a trans woman was forced to leave the women’s changing room because someone was “uncomfortable” with her presence.

                      The unnamed trans woman was asked by staff if she wanted to use the gender neutral disabled facilities—which she declined, as she’s not disabled—and whether she had undergone gender confirmation surgery, which she refused to answer, according to BuzzFeed News.

                      She said that after a year of being a member of the British gym company, and two months into using the women’s facilities every other day at this specific PureGym branch, she was told while she was changing that she had to leave.

                      Earlier this month, a British trans woman was given asylum in New Zealand because of the persecution she faced in her home country.
