I have not been allowed to play basketball in the gym, like the park, a public space, 3 times now. It seems clear that each time, the gym was available. I am a transgender woman.
On my latest attempt Saturday, July 12, I was referred to as a guy three times total, by two different staff members.
A staff member talked about me, her, and her manager meeting on Monday. I don't want to because staff has been that hostile.
The first time, I wasn't allowed to play despite no one being in the gym. The second time, it was claimed the gym was being worked on. It seems clear that was false. Let alone that I was told that kids were there that day, but a staff member on-site that day said they were not. The third time, I was told both that someone needed to be in the gym while I was there. And that there wasn't a second staff member who could do it. I saw a second person in the office. Even if they weren't staff, it's difficult for me to believe I both needed to be supervised and that the supervision could not be done.
