Two girls, ages 15 and 16, were kicked off their local YMCA's swim team for complaining about a male using their locker room.
In late April of this year, Wheeler entered the women’s locker room at the Springfield, Ill., YMCA after swim practice. There, she noticed a man changing.
Abbigail reported the matter to her coach, she said, but was told nothing could be done. She spoke to the Y about the issue “multiple times” but was told that “if I was uncomfortable that I had to go to the family locker room,” she said.
In protest, Wheeler and her teammate displayed posters in the locker room that were reviewed by National Review and read: “Women deserve to be safe here!” and “Biological females only!”
The next day the pair were pulled aside by the coach and the YMCA Springfield CEO, who allegedly told them that the messages were considered hate speech and were disrespectful to trans YMCA members. They were told to report to them if they knew anything about who put the posters up.
The duo admitted they made the signs, noting that the YMCA’s decision to allow men into the women’s locker room contradicted the organization’s original Christian mission. The coach then told them that it was no longer appropriate for the two to practice with the team, and that their parents would be receiving follow-up emails.
The YMCA then called Wheeler’s parents and her friend’s parents, informing them that they were banned from the premises, adding that they were prohibited from even parking in the parking lot. Abbigail could only return to the YMCA if she and her parents attended a conduct meeting with staff.
WARNING: PROG LOGIC AHEAD
“The YMCA is an inclusive organization proudly open to all,” a spokesman for the YMCA told The Center Square. “We welcome all people and do not discriminate based on ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, sex, gender identity, ideology, income, national origin, race, and sexual orientation.”
I think what they meant to say was "We don't discriminate against people who share OUR ideology".
This...is your modern day Prog people...congrats to all you loons for allowing these kind of situations....Amerika...baseball....hot dogs...hot dogs in the girls locker room...
