You are all excited about an incorrect presentation of an event from June. The events as described in this thread are not accurate. The video is intentionally misleading. The person who was removed was in the right and did nothing wrong. She was allowed entry. Access regulations for the separate women's area "Paradiesli" All individuals who identify as women and live as such have access to the voluntary nudist area "Paradiesli" (Little Paradise). Internal guidelines, developed by the Sports Office in conjunction with the Office for Gender Equality, assist staff on-site in managing access to gender-segregated areas, including "Paradiesli." These guidelines state that, in exceptional circumstances, the official gender recorded on an identity document takes precedence. The individual in question met the access requirements. Original German below Zutrittsregelung für den abgetrennten Frauenbereich «Paradiesli» Alle Personen, die sich als Frau identifizieren und als solche leben, haben Zugang zum freiwilligen FKK-Bereich «Paradiesli». Eine interne Orientierungshilfe, die das Sportamt zusammen mit der Fachstelle für Gleichstellung in Geschlechterfragen erstellt hat, hilft dem Personal vor Ort zur Handhabung des Zutritts zu geschlechtergetrennten Bereichen, so auch fürs «Paradiesli». Diese besagt, dass im Härtefall das in einem Ausweis festgehaltene amtliche Geschlecht gilt. Die betroffene Person erfüllte die Zutrittsregelung. https://www.bern.ch/mediencenter/medienmitteilungen/aktuell_ptk/vorfall-mit-polizeieinsatz-im-freibad-marzili For those who are interested in the actual facts; The "Paradiesli" is a voluntary nudist area for women in a physically separated section in the southeastern part of the Marzili outdoor swimming pool. On Sunday evening, a woman was present at the Marzili who, due to certain physical characteristics, was perceived as non-female by other bathers. Several female visitors to the "Paradiesli" felt disturbed by her presence. Other female visitors expressed solidarity with the woman. Due to the increasingly tense atmosphere, the pool management approached the woman and asked her to leave the "Paradiesli." The security service's presence and prevention team failed to calm the situation, the company, fearing escalation, mistakenly opted for a police-ordered removal of the trans woman. The tense atmosphere led to this misjudgment of the situation. The Directorate for Education, Social Affairs and Sport expressly regrets this decision and apologizes to the woman affected. If they wanted to block the entry of transgenders then the regulations would have been different. The right or the wrong of the event isn't at issue here. The rules of entry allowed the use of the space by this person. If the intent is to exclude the person, then change the posted rules.
