The mayor of Jacksonville, Florida has refused to succumb to 'wokeism' and order the city's lifeguards to cover their chests, after a transgender person hoping to be employed at a city pool exposed their breasts.
The transgender person, who has not been named, attended a trial session for lifeguard hopefuls at the Cecil Aquatic Center on April 27.
During the course of the tryout, the female-born person, who identifies as male but has not had top surgery, exposed their breasts and did not attempt to cover themselves.
Children were within 15 to 20 feet from the lifeguard training and the nudity was in 'clear view,' sources told Florida's Voice.
The incident happened in a group of 21 lifeguard trainees aged 15 and above.
Florida's Voice reported that the situation occurred during the swimming portion of the training.
Lenny Curry, the Republican mayor of Jacksonville, said families who were in the swimming pool at the time complained. The trans person has not been hired, Action News Jax reported.
'Through a citizen expressing concerns, my administration became aware of an incident where a biological female trainee in a lifeguard program was topless at one of our public pools,' said Curry.
'After consideration of the incident, I believe it is wrong for our public pools to be a place where Jacksonville families are forced to explain to their children why a person hired to protect public safety is exposing her breasts.'
Curry said he did not think it right to introduce a compromise solution, whereby all lifeguards - male, female and trans - would have to cover their chests.

My bad. Thought the pic was the other one. S/He/It is guilty
Why was anyone clothed?
“...a transgender person hoping to be employed at a city pool exposed their breasts.” A is singular. Their is pleural. What language is this written in?
I had to read a few sentences in before figuring out what she/he/it is.
Does’ that make me gender confused?😵
“This stuff has to stop now.”
It’s not going to. They (evil minions’ pronoun) are just getting started.
