That's no way to talk about a lady.

Parents have raised concerns over a transgender pool official using the women's changing room at the same time as young girls during a teenage swimming competition.
Anne Coombes, who last week blasted a hotel spa for not giving her a key to a female changing room, was volunteering at the British Summer Championships which was held at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield.
Parents complained that both they and their daughters felt 'uncomfortable' as Ms Coombes, a 65-year-old trans woman, used the female changing rooms as a walkthrough during the competition which finished yesterday.
The outcry from parents led to British Swimming changing its guidance so that changing rooms can only be used by competitors getting changed and not as an access route.
One parents, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Telegraph: 'My daughter was in the changing rooms when this person walked through. And then came back again to use the toilets.
She came and told me. How intimidating must it be to be a girl, changing in a women's space, when this happens? And these girls feel that they can't complain in case they get labelled as transphobic.'
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 to ban non-competitors entering the changing rooms, 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.
The sports body said that once it had received a complaint about one of its volunteers, it 'immediately followed procedure to correctly identify the necessary facts'.

Men who use women’s rest rooms and locker rooms need to have their asses kicked!

“Parents have raised concerns over a transgender pool official using the women’s changing room …”

Ah, yes. Welcome to the world of supervisors in America who have to chastise black employees for non-performance. "Raciss!"
The liberals/commies have all of us cowered by virtue of labels.
