Naked 80-Year-Old Protests a Biological Male in Her YMCA Shower, Gets Banned for Bigotry – Opinion

Bathrooms have seen a lot of changes. Christian associations are also changing.

Julie Jaman, a Washington resident, recently completed a Mountain View swim in Port Townsend. As she was getting into the shower, she heard a male voice. She looked out and was surprised by what she saw — allegedly (apply that word to everything below).

Port Townsend Free Press

[O]Tuesday, July 26th, 2022 [Julie] was swimming when the…aquatics manager, Rowen DeLuna, told her that a group of children were going to use her lane. [She]…went to the women’s showers. Private showers are not available. All of them are in a shared area. This means that users must use the same shower area to get in and out. Each shower stall has light curtains that do not offer much protection from others’ eyes. One can see in as well as out.

You can also use the shower to get shaved. [Julie] heard a…low male voice. She saw a male in a woman’s swimsuit very close… Julie says he was “looking at the little girls as they were taking off their suits.” She remembers about four little girls being in the room.

[She]According to her, she was surprised. “There were gaps in the curtain, and there I was — naked, with soap and water on me — and this guy, right there very close to me.”

She called out a question: “Do you have a penis?”

“He said, ‘That’s none of your business.’ That’s when I told him, ‘Get out of here, right now.’”

Julie then saw Aquatics Manager Rowen standing outside of her stall. Julie insisted, “Get him out of here.”

That didn’t go as she’d hoped:

[Rowen] responded…”You’re discriminating, and you can’t use the pool anymore. And I’m calling the police.”

[Julie]Remembers seeing her standing there naked and wet.

Curiously, the pool is run by the Young Men’s Christian Association. And as it turns out, the shower-room male — named Clementine — was a Y worker.

[Clementine]He did not have any identification identifying him as a YMCA worker. [Julie]Does not recall getting dried and dressed. After leaving the showers, she entered the foyer and left the building.

From the door, Rowen declared, “You have not abided by our principles and values.”

[Julie]She expressed concern about the loss of dignity of her and her inability to feel safe when she was vulnerable. Concern was expressed by her about the nakedness of the girls in front. [Clementine]. [Rowen]Her concerns were dismissed when she shared her personal past trauma.

Another Y staffer appeared and informed Julie that she couldn’t leave. Rowen also said the exact same thing.

Julie had an alternative idea and she succinctly shared it with us:

“Bulls**t!”

It was clear that she intended to go to the cops. She filed a report at the station with Officer Titterness.

Also, Wendy Bart was the Olympic Peninsula YMCA CEO. According to Wendy, a Y staffer claimed Julie had said to Clementine, “You’re going to stick your [flipping] penis in those little girls” (Julie denies the charge).

Furthermore, Wendy explained that the posted “Pride” signs should’ve notified everyone that males could enjoy time in the women’s shower.

On August 1st, Julie — who is 80 years old and a 35-year Y member — appeared before the Port Townsend City Council (see the video here):

Her words were a treasure trove of information.

“In an effort by the city and the YMCA to apply the neocultural gender rules at Mountain View pool dressing/room shower facilities, women and children are being put at risk.

“My experience while showering after my swim was…seeing a man in a women’s swimsuit watching little girls pull down their bathing suits in order to use the toilets… I reacted by telling him to leave. My punishment was to be banned from swimming in the pool.

“There is no signage informing women the shower room is now all-gender… Nor have parents been informed of what they can expect… The Y has not provided any dressing/shower room options for women who do not want to be exposed to men who identify as women.

“It is unconscionable that the YMCA would instigate these new policies without clearly informing pool patrons and parents. … [T]hey’ve usurped the binary designations…with no choices. The staff seems to have received little professional training on how to handle reactions to such a radical culture change — particularly for the most vulnerable, older female patrons, and children who may be exposed to inappropriate behavior, (which violates) the dignity and safety of unsuspecting women who have trusted…these facilities for many years. It is wrong. The YMCA, the city, the police and sheriffs, the parents, the professionals who assist victims of voyeurism, peeping toms, pedophilia and assault need to come together to figure out how to make the new policies work for all pool patrons, not just one group.”

“It is ironic,” she added, “that women who discriminate when a situation threatens their safety or their children — a message from our ancestors — are now accused of discrimination as if they have made someone else a victim.”

She told the council that intelligence and wisdom should be employed when “applying the rules,” and that policies must be “respectful and inclusive.”

Respectfully, Julie seems wrong. The society will choose a side. It appears that our institutions already do. You can’t assume that all facilities will create a third locker room/shower. If males can be females and females males — and if “inclusion” means agreeing to such — there cannot exist a world in which both soapy Julie showers exclusively with people with vulvas, and societal showering policies are “inclusive.”

We have reached a fork in the nation’s path. If Americans allow for the revolutionary choice, women like Julie will have to get used to showering with penises and a mutual plain view — provided their resistance doesn’t get them banned.
