Yes, this is happening every friday apparently. Man Friday. Tempted to buy one of the badges actually, its a fantastic idea and does show up this 'self ID' nonsense for what it is. I kind of know Amy (the one who was in the photoshoots in the press who actually went topless during the mens session) and she has done a lot of interviews about this today and yesterday.
I am considering taking part in the Hampstead Heath one when the weather is warmer. Given the womens pond is now open to 'anyone who identifies as a woman' (despite there being a mixed sex pool anyway) its only fair that the mens is open to anyone who identifies as a man, when entering the pool.
I see this as the only way to stop the madness tbh, women can shout about it til they are blue in the face but until it affects men, nothing will happen.
And this is NOT about actual trans people. Its about Swim Englands ridiculous guidance that states that anyone can identify as either sex and use their areas..and anyone who complains must be 'educated' by the staff, which is clearly bonkers.
