One of their complaints is sharing a locker room.
It is none of my business what they have between their legs, but let’s not sit here and pretend that that is not a valid point.
There are all gender bathrooms where I work. Nobody cares. You just do your business, wash your hands, and leave. It’s no different than being in single gender rooms.
100% agree on bathrooms.
I even said so in another comment.
These are locker rooms though, it seems to me you could just give Lia her own locker room, but I feel like people would still be up in arms about that so maybe just give the other people their own.
Idk the optimal solution but those would damn sure be the easiest
Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Your doubt is your own.
I have no doubts.
Have you seen me deadname or misgender her?
Have you seen me cast any shade her way about whether or not she should be allowed to compete with other women?
So I will ask this, what would you tell the other women that are having to share the locker room and are uncomfortable?
Why do the people directly affected by this not get to have their opinions considered?
You will find some random person on any community gyms locker room that will make you uncomfortable for many reasons that are yours to deal with. If she was just doing her thing and just changing, I don't see why she has to go to a different one because some transphobes didn't want see her naked for 2 seconds.
I am suggesting that the people with a problem get their own locker room away from everyone else
You can pick one of those, but not both, since they are in direct contradiction to each other.
Though I would love to see you try explaining how they have a valid point without circling back to the genitalia she happened to be born with.
It is none of MY business.
It is however the business of the people sharing the locker room with her.
A private locker room would seem to solve that problem however
