Julie Jaman, an 82-year-old woman from Port Townsend, Washington, is threatening legal action against her local YMCA after being banned for life. The ban came after Jaman confronted a transgender staffer in the women's locker room at the YMCA's Mountain View Pool, where she had been a regular for four decades. Jaman's attorney, Harmeet Dhillon, CEO of the Center for American Liberty, is demanding the city and YMCA lift the ban, issue a formal apology, and pay $350,000 in damages for "emotional distress". The legal team argues that the ban violates Jaman's First and 14th Amendment rights, condemning the YMCA's actions as unlawful and shameful. Dhillon has called for the city and YMCA to prioritize public safety over "woke ideology."

I’m headed to @PlanetFitness now but don’t worry, I won’t be using the women’s locker room. Whenever I feel the need to undress in front of a bunch of strange women, I just have to go to my airport security line.
