Sydney pool slammed for transgender rule

A popular women's only pool in Sydney's eastern suburbs is facing a backlash after saying that transgender customers would only be allowed in if they've had gender reassignment surgery.
The McIver's Ladies Baths in Coogee uploaded the rule onto a FAQ section of its website, stoking hundreds of angry comments directed towards its management on social media.
Under a headline titled "Are transgender women allowed?" the website stated: "Only transgender women who've undergone a gender reassignment surgery are allowed entry."
Overnight thousands of people have taken to the pool's Facebook page to express their anger at the rule, arguing that is discriminatory and would be impossible to enforce.

Ladies' baths bans transgender women who haven't had sex change

A ladies-only rock pool at a popular beach has banned transgender women unless they have undergone sex-change surgery.
McIver's Ladies Baths in Coogee, in Sydney's east, updated the policy on its website, sparking a litany of furious comments online.
'Only transgender women who have undergone a gender reassignment surgery are allowed entry,' a new entry in its FAQ section read.
The baths also made a Facebook post explaining the policy but deleted it after numerous angry comments, and the website updated again.

Sydney women-only ocean pool under fire over transgender policy

The 1995 exemption, which allows the baths to be a women-only space, was made “indefinite” in 2018.
On Monday afternoon a post on the McIver’s Facebook page quoted the 1995 exemption and called for people to direct “any information regarding transgender people needs” to Randwick council.
Below the post was a fierce debate of more than 3,000 comments from a mix of people who support allowing transgender women into the baths and those who do not. The Facebook post has since been taken down.
This is not the first time that women-only swimming spots have faced backlash over allowing or not allowing trans women to use their spaces. In 2019, London’s Hampstead Heath ladies’ pond formalised the rights of transgender women to use the pool after intense debate and protests by a radical feminist group.
