City forces TG woman to dress in men's room

Cleveland--A city swimming pool has told a transgender woman that she must sign in as a man and use the men's locker room to change into her swimsuit.

Karen Deamons of Cleveland has been swimming at the Cudell Recreation Center on the city's west side since 2005. She swims there three times a week as part of her rehabilitation from a stroke that year.

Deamons says that there has been tension between her and Cudell management since she started swimming at the facility. But it has escalated in the last month, resulting in her being barred for a week, then being required to sign the men's registry when she arrives.

this is outrageously shocking!!!!! i'm not even forced to do that and i live in cities nowhere as big as Cleveland. that poor woman. and every pool i've been too doesn't make you sign as male or female. that pool manager was waaaaaaaayy out of line asking her if she had had her surgery. this is classic example of why i hate this state. obviously this pool manager hasn't heard of the federal policy of Least Astonishment. glad i was never planning a trip there.
