[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read your statement. You’re a creep. [/quote]

+1 harassing kids is not welcome at my pool.  You and other creeps, please stay away.[/quote]

Neither of these statements have any substance or engage substantively with what I've written.
- If I'm a creep, I'd like to know why?
- If I harassed kids, what part of the account shows me harassing a child?[/quote]

You ruined a casual child's event and embarrassed the child.  By continuing to make this an issue you are inviting an internet mob of the worst people possible on a place you claim to care about.  I'd bet anything the pool you claim to care about has received threats because of how you chose to platform your message. Think about who solicited by who you gave interviews to.  Think about what impact that has on the people, often teenagers  who work there.  Over a casual swim race.

A low level casual event is not an appropriate place to start gender policing.  Forcing kids out of casual spaces results is making families of trans kids afraid and tells those kids there is no place in society for them.  But not just trans kids, it also results in harassment of cis women and girls because they have short hair or big shoulders (which are both common things for swimmers).  I won't have any part of it.

So yes, I view you as a creep, a person who has chosen to bring harm and harassment to people over a casual child's event.  You should be ashamed of yourself.[/quote]

I have no dog in this fight, but this poster sums it up nicely.  [/quote]

There is a place in society. Simply swim with the boys team. It’s casual, right?[/quote]

These types of arguments are pathetic. The fact that it’s casual means that the competitive stakes are low. Meanwhile at a low stakes event, a child is harmed by an immature adult. The adult can leave the pool.[/quote]

Then why time it or group the kids by sex? What kind of casual is this? Everyone doesn’t get to make up their own rules.[/quote]

+1.

It's a stupid argument. [/quote]

My 10yo would like to smoke the 8yr olds. No problem, it’s casual right?[/quote]
