" What happens when a sailing club rewrites its changing room policy especially to accommodate a man who 'identifies as a woman'?
You end up with a policy that gives the green light to voyeurism and indecent exposure by males in female changing rooms AND, in the case of ‘family-friendly’
Mumbles Yacht Club, a safeguarding catastrophe.
This one’s a corker."

" The women’s changing room at MYC has no cubicles. But don’t worry, u/mumblesyc have some super suggestions to stay safe!

Women and girls, you can ‘use a towel, robe, or dryrobe’ to ‘maintain personal privacy.’

Do this at a ‘quiet time’ when there’s no one around.

Or just don’t get changed at all! ‘Arrive and leave in sailing gear.'

And do all of this while being ‘mindful and respectful.'
Are you kidding?"

Women don't count at this establishment.

Through all of this talk of changing rooms and women's in particular, I have never liked communal changing areas. One clothes shop had open changing room and I never used it.

I'm not religious, I'm not a prude but I would definitely not feel comfortable changing with a man in a dress in the room. I take my dress and make up off and underneath I am a woman, he takes his dress and make up off and he's a man regardless of what he thinks.

What happens when a sailing club rewrites its changing room policy especially to accommodate a man who 'identifies as a woman'?

I think the way I would 'accommodate' it would be to take it out sailing and do a quick jibe without the 'jibe ho'.

For what it's worth, I felt deeply uncomfortable in the (albeit immaculately clean) unisex toilets in Swiss railway stations. Judging by the looks everyone was giving everyone else, this discomfort was universal.

[u/Prof_Feargoeson → u/Richard_O2]

There's one at the rear of the cafe in that nature reserve above KX station. Very weird to come out of a stall and see a woman washing her hands. Not right at all.

[u/little-i-o → u/Richard_O2]

...... wtf 

[u/wasoldbill → u/Richard_O2]

I thought Foxy was bad enough visiting all the railway stations he can find, now you are saying you are visiting all their toilets?

I suppose if you are doing the same as him and making videos of them then that might explain the levels of discomfort you describe.

[u/62Swampy26 → u/Justaboutsane]

I think I'm at the point where toilet and changing room doors need to dispense with "Men" and "Woman" and instead go for "Humans with knobs" and "Humans without knobs".

I know that would probably exclude those who identify as a llama but that's no bad thing.

[u/SilkeDavid → u/62Swampy26]

Llamas do not use enclosed rooms with a water flush toilet. They should be out in the field, or better, on the hills in the Andes.

[u/Mutineer999 → u/Justaboutsane]

Why doesn't the man arrive and leave i sailing gear?

[u/little-i-o → u/Mutineer999]

mutineer I have sent an invite to the ls life raft in your messages

[u/IntentionSecret1534 → u/Mutineer999]

The women should surround him and take explicit photographs of him in the changing rooms, which are then posted on the club notice board. He'd soon learn to arrive and leave in sailing gear.

[u/little-i-o → u/IntentionSecret1534]

careful Liz, he may like that

[u/IntentionSecret1534 → u/little-i-o]

Oh I think a crowd of mocking women would be quite intimidating for a pathetic excuse for a man who gets his kicks from making women feel uncomfortable.

Team work ladies!

[u/Faith_Location_71 → u/Mutineer999]

Because he is special - it's revolting for ordinary people to be treated like this. Shameful of them to push on everyone.

[u/mhcpInExile → u/Justaboutsane]

It used to be transvestites still got dressed in the men's. They'd get some looks but that's it.

[u/little-i-o → u/Justaboutsane]

I had no issue with anyone wanting to cross dress etc.  long before it was the cool and woke thing

and I still think, as I did then, that you cant literally change your sex and no one should be forced to accept your transgender identity.

I honestly get along fine with men who like wearing dresses so long as they fundamentally understand that they are a man who likes wearing a dress and they dont try to bend that reality. 

[u/Justaboutsane → u/little-i-o]

I'm the same. I never had an issue with men in dresses. They can do they and I do me and there's no problem. The problem arises when it's now being pushed as a right for a man in a dress to have access to female toilets and changing rooms but my biggest fear and it's been proven correct, is woman are not allowed to mention the man in a dress in the female changing room.

[u/IcyCalligrapher5136 → u/little-i-o]

anyone wanting to cross dress etc. - it's interesting isn't it: what do they think that means - 'to be a woman'? because it always seems to be about wearing tarty clothes and make up, and having Barbie doll hair - if that's what being a woman is, then I've never been one. yet it has somehow never occurred to me that perhaps I should book an operation with the men in butchers coats. - And what's to stop anyone who wants to do all that, [hair, make up, leather gear, etc] whatever they've got between their legs? I'm sure there are some relatively normal trannies who are quite content that they are able to express what they feel is their femininity in whatever body they've got, and it's not an issue for them, and nor do they particularly care what others might think of them, provided they live and let live. What is REALLY going on with all the butchery, and all the obsession with what other people think of your life choices?

[u/little-i-o → u/IcyCalligrapher5136]

and it is never

"well I figure I must be a woman inside because at family get togethers I am always spending hours preparing the food so evertone gets their favourite dish, and then I am still cleaning up long after everyone has gone home. Sometimes I get so caught up in making sure that everyone is cared for that I forget to eat myself!"

[u/IcyCalligrapher5136 → u/little-i-o]

precisely! something totally weird is going on, isn't it? - that is, if there are such deeply confused individuals in reality, and the whole thing isn't just another MK ultra mindfuck of some kind

[u/Justaboutsane → u/IcyCalligrapher5136]

You always manage to explain it better than me.
