Jewesses Bathing in Public Pools? New York Times Editorial Writers Can’t Stand the Stench

Below is an excerpt from a NYT article about the Regent Park Aquatic Center in Toronto.

On Saturday evenings, mechanized screens shroud the center’s expansive glass walls to create a session that allows only women and girls to relax in the hot tub, swim laps or careen down the water slide, a rare bit of “me” time treasured by many of the neighborhood’s Muslim residents.

...The aquatic center reflects that ethos of inclusion. After the weekly women’s swim ends, the blinds stay down for a private session popular with transgender people who want to swim without feeling they are being stared at.
