The girl described the disturbing experience in a public comment session at a Santee City Council meeting last week, according to the U.K. Daily Mail.
“I immediately went back into the shower, terrified, and hid behind their flimsy excuse for a curtain until he was gone,” Philips told the council members.
Philips brought up the risks the gym’s policies posed to younger girls — such as her own 5-year-old sister.
She held back tears as she described the impact of gender ideology on spaces that are intended for women.
“This is the YMCA where my little sister took gymnastics lessons. The locker room was supposed to be her safe haven to gossip with her friends, and shower and change.”
The YMCA didn’t respond to the incident by ensuring that no girl would be subject to the same experience at their facility ever again, Philips said. Instead, she said, it blamed the victim of the exposure, insisting that the male that every right to access the women’s locker room.
“When I asked the YMCA management what their policy was regarding transgenders, they confirmed that the man that I saw was indeed allowed to shower wherever he pleased.”
Only individuals listed as sex offenders were barred from the locker room. According to Philips, the organization continued to defend its trans policies in a phone call days later, rejecting Philips’ concerns over the safety hazard.
“I was made to feel as though I had done something wrong when I talked to people at the YMCA. Somehow, the indecent exposure of a male to a female minor was an inconvenience to them.”
It didn’t stop there, Philips said. Her father complained to the sheriff’s office and was told he should simply not allow his daughter to shower there “ever again,” Philips said.
Several days later, she said, her father received a phone call from the Y’s director of membership for San Diego County.
“He informed my dad that I was not in any danger at the time of the incident,” Philips said. “That I was safe.”
If that was meant to be comforting, it just made it that much worse.
“The fact that we are now tailoring our privacy policies and bathroom laws around transgenders, ignoring the blatant threat to safety that this poses, is obscene.
“The safety of children, girls, is on the chopping block.”
In a statement after Philips’ statement, according to the Daily Mail, the Y said it was reviewing its policies.
‘We are aware of a situation involving two members in the locker room of the Santee YMCA earlier this month. The comfort and safety of all our members is our highest priority,” the statement said, the Daily Mail reported.
“As a community focused organization, we strive to meet the needs of all individuals. We recognize that birth and gender identity are sensitive subjects. We rely on subject matter experts, laws, and guidelines established by the State of California to ensure our policies are welcoming and respectful for all community members.
“As part of this commitment to ensure all individuals feel comfortable, we are reviewing lock room floorplans across all facilities within our association.
“Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to additional privacy if desired and needed.”
The current policy amounts to a tacit threat against real women.
These developments could bring about the transformation of common spaces in the U.S. to more closely reflect Saudi Arabia-style gender segregation, where women are barred from sports, gymnasiums, and anywhere they could have formerly expected privacy.
It’ll be accomplished through intimidation, with faux “women” browbeating real women away through their shameful invasion of the women’s locker room.
A society that can’t defend the most basic privacy of its daughters is one destined for destruction. Source
Brothers and sisters in Christ – this story disgusted me. I can’t even come up with a good analogy – It’s just outrageous!
The stories about biological men taking part in women’s sports is bad enough, but the difference here is that girls and women (biological) are now in great peril. Their safety is not considered to be important to the YMCA. The YMCA sided with the transgender, with no regard for the safety of females.
This is ludicrous!!
I’m so angry right now, so I better end my comments.
MARANATHA!!
“The comfort and safety of all our members is our highest priority”.
It should read ARE our highest prioritIES because “comfort” and “safety” are not the same thing. What’s more, it’s evident that the COMFORT of the mentally ill comes first! Seems California’s leaders and community business owners have lost the ability to think rationally (Romans 1) and, sadly, the majority of the rest of our nation’s leaders aren’t that far behind.
The whole thing is so satanic
It’s the same in Spokane Washington. I was a member and was going every week but I had to leave because of men in the locker room, naked in front of women and children. They said I had to get used to it. I said no I don’t. I haven’t been back cents! The young men’s Christian Association is now the den of Satan. And oh, yes, they got on me for saying anything about it. Told me I had to shut up. I said I will never shut up! This is wrong! Very very wrong!
Yes it is. We are to speak against EVIL
In prayer.
“In prayer” as an excuse out of fear of speaking out loud? Certainly prayer is the first response, and what we receive from the Lord is our responsibility to confirm through the Bible and/or fellow Christians, and obey. (In the multitude of counselors, there is safety.”
My second thought is, what’s with the increase of the use of ‘G_D’ or “g_ds” in place of comments about God?
