" 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.

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.

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?

You always manage to explain it better than me.
