> She found a trans-identifying male employee watching young girls change out of their swimsuits.

Julie Jaman, 82, was ejected from the facility in 2022 for hate and discrimination after she objected to the trans male staffer allegedly observing minor girls in a female-designated changing room.

Jaman, a 30-year patron at the pool, filed a civil rights complaint against the City of Port Townsend and the Olympic Peninsula YMCA, alleging that her constitutional rights were violated when she was permanently banned from the Mountain View Pool for speaking out about the safety of young girls. The lawsuit was filed in the US District Court for the Western District of Washington…

The incident took place in 2022 when Jaman, a 30-year member, who had been swimming at the Mountain View Pool, was showering in the women’s locker room. She heard a male voice and investigated. She found a trans-identifying male employee watching young girls change out of their swimsuits.

‘I never imagined that expressing concerns about the safety and privacy of women and girls would lead to me being shunned and banned,’ Jaman said in a press release. ‘I’m grateful that justice has been served and that my voice was heard. This is a victory for common sense, women’s rights, and the right to speak the truth.’
