Despite demands from protestors, experts said the facility must follow a law requiring that transgender people have equal access to locker rooms
Only three members of the public addressed the issue, with one criticizing the YMCA and two defending transgender rights. City leaders did not comment from the dais, but the mayor has previously said they’re working with the facility to approve new privacy stalls in locker rooms.The message said the facility will be introducing a “policy requiring no public nudity in the locker room common area” and “more personal changing spaces, so members have more privacy options.
Representatives for the county YMCA previously said the rules will likely later be applied to facilities throughout the area.“Some Ys have undergone complete locker room remodels with separate changing rooms while others have increased the number of private changing stalls,” said Shawn Borzelleri, executive vice president and chief network experience officer of the YMCA of the USA.
Adding more privacy stalls may be one of the only ways the Y can respond to critics without risking a lawsuit.that “all business establishments” offer “full and equal accommodations” to everyone regardless of sex, which includes gender identity.
