Outrage erupted at an Oregon swimming pool after it was claimed a transgender woman was seen undressing in front of women and children.
One woman said she feared for her safety after the incident in the locker room at the Newport Recreation and Aquatic Center, reported KATU.
'We do not want our children to see persons of the opposite sex or persons transitioning to the opposite sex undressed or nude,' said Newport resident Linda Dinerstein at a council meeting on the issue Monday.
The issue was brought up after the parks and recreation said they had been 'fielding questions' related to gender identity and public restrooms. 'I personally witnessed a person who appeared to be a man, openly dressing in the women's locker room. It was later communicated by the rec center that this was a biological female that was in the process of transitioning.'
Community member and transgender woman Mary Grace Frederick shared an opposing point of view during the same meeting.
She said: 'People here tonight that are sitting in this room have called me a sexual deviant and a predator.' There is no suggestion that Frederick was the woman involved in the changing room incident who triggered the complaint.
During the meeting Newport Mayor Jan Kaplan said restroom use was not the issue and more education is needed.
'There's assumptions that people make. If I see you as a predator, and I see you through that lens, because you're different than me, then I will interpret whatever you do as predatory,' said Kaplan.
On May 6, City of Newport Parks and Recreation Director Michael Cavanaugh asserted the city's commitment to its diversity, equity and inclusion statement after they started receiving an increase in concern over bathroom use, reported KOIN.

Newport Mayor Jan Kaplan — “more education is needed.”
Yeah, you old-fashioned Neanderthals just need to be re-educated. To the camps with you!
we are not wrong on this issue...this is insanity....THEY are wrong completely...
“”It was later communicated by the rec center that this was a biological female that was in the process of transitioning.””
Well, I’m thoroughly confused! BIOLOGICAL female - what made IT appear as anything BUT a female???
Process of transitioning? Does that mean it’s a “work in progress?”
The people who protested forgot to bring their baseball bats and use them.
That’s the real problem.
Next time they should just bring them to the locker room.
The first error in this article is calling this perv a ‘transgender woman’. That is NOT A WOMAN. It’s a Perverted MALE in woman’s clothing.
Stop the insanity! Do not feed the stupidity!
Take a stand, America!
And they are right!
Can pools burn down?
Asking for a friend.

“The first error in this article is calling this perv a ‘transgender woman’. That is NOT A WOMAN. It’s a Perverted MALE in woman’s clothing.”
That’s how they do it.
They get bastardize the language. War is peace, up is down. We’re living “1984”.
Let the libs wallow in their own filth. They brought this on themselves.
Fixed.
Transgender “women” aren’t women. They are seriously mentally ill men pretending to be women. Make asylums great again.
Will it turn Oregon red? Dream on.
More education?
Yeah ... the trannies and the freaks who support them need to be taken out into the forest and educated.
Newport is a wonderful little town. Awesome seafood. My family lives there. However it has a thoroughly communist city council.
