And that’s fine because he calls himself a woman? The tone of this story is ‘poor transgendered woman has been discriminated against’ but that’s bullshit. You can call this grown man a HER all you want, but the fact remains that if he retains his luggage, he’s male and should not share the same locker room as a young girl.

A transgender woman said she was discriminated against after using the women’s locker room at Evergreen State College.
Colleen Francis was using the sauna in a women’s locker room inside the recreation center at the school late in September.
The same facility is used by two high school girls swim teams from Olympia, who also practice in the pool.
KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Deborah Horne spoke with Francis about the incident in which a woman told her to leave.
“I looked at her and said, ‘Excuse me?’ And she said, ‘You have to leave, I’ll be right back,’” said Francis. “She wouldn’t identify herself. All she said was that there were a couple of girls that came upstairs to the pool, and said that there was a man in the sauna.”
Francis, who acknowledges she was born a man, said she lived as a woman since 2009.
Someone still called campus police, and local parents heard about the incident.
“They’re uncomfortable with him being in there, her, being in there and are shocked by it,” said parent Kristi Holterman. Holterman’s daughter was one of the swimmers and complained to Evergreen.
Officials at the school told KIRO 7 that they have been working with the Olympia School District, which leases space at the pool.
According to state law, it requires equal access to state facilities regardless of gender identity.Local school officials said they came up with a temporary solution.
“There’s a smaller locker room next to the main locker room at the pool, and they (the swim teams) have been using that,” said Ryan Betz, a spokesman for the Olympia School District.“This is not 1959 Alabama. We don’t call police for drinking from the wrong water fountain,” said Francis.
Love the parting shot: “This is not 1959 Alabama. We don’t call police for drinking from the wrong water fountain”. NOT THE SAME THING AT ALL but thanks for playing.
To no one’s surprise, the minority rules once again and the girls swim team have been moved to a smaller locker room. At least they won’t have to see ‘her’ bait and tackle.
Transgendered? Well ain’t that convenient.
bait & tackle – giggle
Ain’t it?
Cover your junk, dickhead!
Yup!
After I retired I worked a few other jobs, including one at a drug and alcohol treatment center. We had more or less the same thing happen, a tranny who fit neither with the men nor the women. He was frightened to stay with the men and the women were frightened to stay with “her”.
We finally solved it but it weren’t easy.
It’s not as if I don’t feel for the person perplexed at their own body, but to assume it’s fine to use the same facilities as young girls is wrong.
I would have pepper-sprayed ‘her’ junk, all while screaming like a banshee. Freaked the ever-living f*** out of ‘it’. That ‘transgendered’ crap is just the type of ‘reasoning’ used by the assholes in Utah who molested my stepsons. The only ‘rights’ they believe in is pushing their twisted mind-set onto those unable to defend themselves. Can’t attract someone on their own adult level, so they push it onto the vulnerable.
At her age I would not have been as well mannered as the girl in the story and may well have bellowed in outrage. We didn’t have pepper spray back then.
This isn’t about “equality”, it’s about COMMON SENSE! I dare say the majority of the transgender community would do their best to avoid situations which would cast them in a bad light. They have too many problems to deal with anyway. This incident was about someone pushing the envelope to get a big public reaction.
Yup. Never should have happened.
