UK: Our swimming pond is NOT gender fluid: Fury of Hampstead Heath ladies after men identifying as women are allowed into their famous bathing lake. Women transitioning to men use the male swimming lake already.

Further controversy was caused when a woman who is transitioning to be a man called for the pond to be made ‘gender fluid’, Ms Roberts said.

Spilled my coffee laughing and reading this ridiculously hilarious news. Is this real world?

Enjoy the world you created for yourselves, womyn.

So, let me get this right: a public space is being used for women only?!? Hows this even legal???

" Julie Bindel, a feminist writer who has also been swimming at the pond for more than three decades, added: ‘It is totally unacceptable to allow men who identify as women, but who are otherwise male bodied and socialised as men, to be in a women-only space. I have seen mothers bring their young daughters who are self-conscious about their bodies but want to feel good about swimming and exposing their skin to the sun. The last thing they want is to look behind them and see a male-bodied person pretending to be a woman in order to gawp at them.’ "

Is it just me or is she trying to imply that this male bodied person is some sort of paedofile?

I didn't even know that something like this existed, they've gone and fucking written down gender discrimination on a sign, fucking hell. This is an absolute classic stereotype too and something I really despise, rich women whinging about not being able to have their picturesque private swimming pond all to themselves.

Could this be anymore retarded? Also, I have to say, as others have been pointing out in the daily mail this is what feminists always wanted and being somebody whose hobby was targeted by these fucking losers I think it's hilarious. Maybe if they hadn't done everything in their power to shut down groups with lots of men in they wouldn't have ridiculous situations like this, fuckers, stay away from the games industry next time, I really don't have sympathy.

It isn't really about 'women' having their safe spaces though is it? Because if they were women who didn't fall in line with feminism and left wing thought they'd probably be booted out. This is feminists taking over and utilising private/public property for their own ends and harassing anybody who tries to interfere with that.

So yet again we see that the most anti-gender equality and transphobic are the self-identified lady feminists.

It seems as though feminists are beginning to see female privilege...hmm...

mwobuddy · 2018-01-01T05:19:10+00:00

But.. there's genders, and the pond is a fluid... am I missing something?

I already identify as a woman for the enhanced privileges it brings me, such as this.

The UGay is perhaps the most fucked up country in the world nowadays.

I really feel for my British bros and am very thankful for that country gave me a lot. It is really hard to live there if you're a man and certainly the brexit made things worse if you wanna flee the hysteria.

BTW it's just a matter of time before feminists and transgender will call out men who "identify" as women and you can start the clock to when people will realise that the entire gender fluidity thing is BS and we'll go back to normalcy. Great news!

The source is The Daily Mail. In my experience an unreliable sensationalist discriminatory rag. I would love to see a story about this from a more reliable source.

Edit: Down-voted by someone who views The Daily Mail as intellectually stimulating and a bastion of truth and accurate reporting.

This article is ironically hilarious. But it seems like some of the other commenters didn’t pick up the fact that even though this is a public space, there is a male-only Space also along with mixed space. If funny to me that I haven’t seen or heard of any issues with the female-to-male people using the men’s only space or the mixed space. Just the female space thinking that apparently the only reason why a person who isn’t naturally born a woman would want to go to a female only space is to “gawp” at them.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 72%. (I'm a bot)

Regular users of the tranquil fresh water pond - used by famous names such as actress Helena Bonham Carter, comedian Rhona Cameron and novelist Esther Freud - have complained in recent months that men who identify as women and wore female bathing clothes were using the pond.

Julie Bindel, a feminist writer who has also been swimming at the pond for more than three decades, added: 'It is totally unacceptable to allow men who identify as women, but who are otherwise male bodied and socialised as men, to be in a women-only space.

The City of London Corporation spokesman said: 'Over the last year all lifeguards and managers at Hampstead Heath ponds have taken transgender awareness training courses, which have been offered to, and taken by, the ponds' swimming associations as well.

They created this Brave New World, now live in it. Stop complaining.

Feminism is endlessly tolerant until it asks anything of them

dissociatransman · 2022-12-24T13:35:20+00:00
