At the Hampstead Ladies Pond

an style=”font-size: 11pt”>But this is Hampstead, fabled home of the literary progressive. So if not actually authoring, then, very likely, with a job in publishing or the BBC….

After the Supreme Court ruling, the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond Association (KLPA), a volunteer-led group representing people who use the pond, said: “The Ladies’ Pond is open to all women and girls over the age of eight and, according to the lifeguards, trans women have been swimming there for many years without incident.

“The Ladies’ Pond is well staffed by lifeguards and stewards who are there to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all users.”

Last year, in a meeting of the KLPA, members voted to reject a motion that “only those born female in sex can use the pond”. The motion, which would have excluded transgender women, was “resoundingly defeated”.

If the lifeguards and stewards are so wonderful, why not just drop the whole "women only" charade and make it mixed? No assaults or rapes then, and women feeling uncomfortable is not really a matter of any concern when compared with the validation of men's new gender identities, and the kick they get from violating women-only spaces. So there'll be one men only and two mixed bathing ponds. Women clearly don't deserve one for themselves.
