In light of the events that happened at the YMCA in Port Townsend Washington where they banned an 80 year old woman for safeguarding children, we have decided to come together to show our support for Miss Julie Jaman. #LetJulieSwim
Single-sex spaces are the right of every woman and girl. It is absolutely necessary to protect these spaces for safeguarding, for dignity, and for respect. So we stand in solidarity with Julie Jaman. #LetJulieSwim
She should be commended, she should be rewarded for standing up for the safety of girls. Instead she has been unfairly and viciously maligned, slandered, and banned. She did what was right, she’s doing what anybody else would do, protecting girls. We applaud her.#LetJulieSwim

I'm often accused of being "hateful" because I believe that safeguarding necessitates that women/girls deserve protections on the basis of our sex. I refuse to deny the embodied sex based differences of men & women and I uphold that to deny these is SEXIST.
In the face of accusations of "hate" I always ask my accusers to directly quote the "hateful" part of what I've said. They're unable to quote back to me anything hateful in my own words. So they either respond that I should "know" or they simply never respond.
My detractors spend a lot of time trying to call me names like "bigot," "tr@nsphobe," and "hateful," which are all essentially attacks on my character. What my detractors are unable to do is actually grapple with the arguments I present.
