After more than 35 years of swimming at Port Townsend鈥檚 Mountain View Pool, Julie Jaman, 80, says she is 鈥渄istressed鈥� after being banned from the facility for calling out a biological man she says was watching semi-naked young girls in the women鈥檚 locker room.

Jaman told Friday鈥檚 Dori Monson show listeners that the incident started July 26 after she 鈥渉eard a man鈥檚 voice鈥� while she was naked and showering in the women鈥檚 locker room at the facility, which is operated by the Olympic Peninsula YMCA and the City of Port Townsend.

鈥淚 saw a man in a woman鈥檚 bathing suit watching maybe four or five little girls pulling down their suits in order to use the toilet,鈥� Jaman recalled. 鈥淚 asked if he had a penis and he said it was none of my business. I told that man to ‘get out right now.鈥� ”

After alerting a pool staff member to the situation, Jaman said she was 鈥渟tunned鈥� when the staffer told her that she was 鈥渂eing discriminatory,鈥� 鈥渨as banned from the pool forever,鈥� and that they were calling the police.

鈥淪he didn鈥檛 ask me what the problem was, if I was okay, nothing about me,鈥� Jaman said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 as if she was just waiting to pounce on me. It was just stunning.鈥�

After exiting the shower and dressing, Jaman continued, another pool staff member confronted her in the foyer. 鈥淪he told me that I was being discriminatory and not following the YMCA principles and values. I told her I respect all human beings and I鈥檓 not following any ideology.鈥�

Before this, Jaman said, she had no other warnings from pool staff and 鈥渉as a great relationship with swimmers in the pool.鈥�

Jaman told Dori that she later spoke with Olympic Peninsula YMCA CEO Wendy Bart.

鈥淚 told her there were no signs posted to give women warning,鈥� Jaman said. 鈥淪he said there were Pride posters posted all over and she assumed that was adequate to inform women what to expect.鈥� According to Jaman, Bart also said, 鈥渨e take pride and everyone is welcome.鈥�

鈥淭hat鈥檚 fine with me, except that they do not provide alternatives for women who choose not to be undressing in front of men,鈥� Jaman continued. 鈥淥ur pool is a very old pool. We just have two shower rooms, dressing rooms, one for men, one for women.鈥�

Plans for a gender-neutral or family changing room have not occurred, she added.

Since the late July incident, the dispute has spilled over into local blogs and at least one heated city council meeting, Jaman said. She told Dori鈥檚 listeners that she is hurt by city leaders calling her a 鈥渂igot鈥� and is 鈥渧ery distressed鈥� about being banned from her regular exercise. The issue gathered increased attention after Jaman spent two days picketing and gathering petition signatures, seeking pool facility improvements.

Her goal now: to move the YMCA and the city to provide a pool locker room space 鈥渇or women and children who do not want to mix it up for their own dignity and well-being.鈥�
