An elderly woman who was banned from a YMCA pool after she demanded a
transgender employee leave the women’s locker room has been heckled by activists as she described her experience.
Julie Jaman had been a regular at the Mountain View pool in the City of Port Townsend in Washington when she spotted the worker in the changing room while she was showering.
The 80-year-old was giving a speech about her experience when angry trans protestors ripped down suffragette flag that she was speaking in front of, before chanting loudly over her.
Jaman claims that while she was changing last week she heard a ‘mans voice’ and immediately confronted the worker, Clementine Adams, who identifies as a woman.
She said that she asked Adams if she had a penis, and she said it was ‘none of her business’, so she asked them to leave.
Jaman told a member of staff at the pool, was told by YMCA aquatics manager Rowen DeLuna that she was 'discriminating' and that the police would be called..'
She was told that she was ‘banned from the pool forever’ before DeLuna called law enforcement, where Jaman was described as having an ‘emotional response’ and ‘screaming’ in an incident report.
While addressing a group of supporters yesterday she said: ‘I’m the old lady. You may have read some version of my personal experience, a naked old lady in the women shower room and what I saw that day.

Decent people respect other people's privacy.
This is why there are women's locker rooms and men's locker rooms.
Why do the LGBT refuse to respect other people's privacy rights?
If straight man was in the women's locker room and refused to leave, he would be arrested.
