She then said that she saw a man watching two young girls. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After complaining about the presence of a male in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prager-trans-athletes-the-new-york-times-and-the-ivy-league\/\" title=\"PRAGER: Trans Athletes, The New York Times, And The Ivy League\">female locker room<\/a>, Jaman was told by pool staff that her language was \u201cdiscriminatory.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The man in the locker room was an employee of the YMCA who identifies as transgender. Jaman says she believed that she had witnessed a crime because of his presence in the women\u2019s locker room near the two girls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhen an eighty-year-old woman reasonably believes she is witnessing a crime being committed against young girls in a women\u2019s locker room, the government\u2019s reaction should be to gather all of the facts and learn what happened, not immediately take sides in an ideologically charged political debate,\u201d the lawsuit says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the suit, the city and the pool violated Jaman\u2019s First Amendment right to free speech and Fourteenth Amendment right to due process and equal protection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe City and YMCA\u2019s failure to respond to Julie\u2019s requests highlights their disregard for public safety,\u201d said Harmeet Dhillon, the CEO and founder of The Center for American Liberty. \u201cBy prioritizing political ideology over the protection of children, they have set a dangerous precedent.
