San Francisco YMCA makes stunning move after fallout over naked trans person in female lockers

A San Francisco YMCA posted updated locker room guidelines at its Stonestown branch after complaints about nudity and conduct in a women’s changing area. The rules state that nudity must be discreet, limited, and brief, and that members should remain clothed or covered except when actively showering. Users are instructed to respect privacy and personal space and to maintain appropriate distance from others in shared locker room areas. Hair dryers may be used only for drying head hair. Children age five and older using a locker room designated for the opposite sex must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Some members questioned enforcement, while others said the changes reduced concerns and that a transgender member was no longer seen at the location after the guidelines were implemented.

"The new policy says nudity should be discreet, limited, and brief and states members should remain clothed or covered except when actively showering. It also directs users to respect privacy and personal space and maintain appropriate distance from others in shared locker room areas. Additional provisions specify that hair dryers are to be used only for drying head hair and require that children age five and older using a locker room designated for the opposite sex be accompanied by a parent or guardian."

"Obtained by CA Post Critics alleged that Sammy at times remained unclothed in shared spaces for extended periods, including while grooming or using communal areas. Supporters, however, said she was being unfairly singled out and argued she was entitled to use facilities consistent with her gender identity. Several members said Sammy has not been seen at the Stonestown location since the updated guidelines were implemented."

"Some members said the changes appear to respond to ongoing concerns raised over the past two years about behavior inside the facility. The updated rules were posted at a Stonestown neighborhood branch of the YMCA. Susan Pete, a 59-year-old member who has been among those raising concerns, questioned how the policy would be enforced in practice."
