"All of the sudden your 'private parts' aren't yours anymore. Why? because of the f-king patriarchy and because of the male gaze and because of the society we live in," the star said in their video.Kathy went on to say that “as a non-binary person I personally feel more sexualized and dysphoric when I have a bikini top on” and called on Sydney’s Inner West Council for more information on the policy after failing to find anything about it online.
“The man that f–king complained used the kids as bait for his uncomfortably,” they said. “My genderless tits are an issue to you and you can’t just admit that, instead you have to use kids as ammunition for why I have to cover up.” Kathy’s video has been viewed almost 70,000 times since it was shared on Tuesday, with many people commenting to share their disappointment.The video has been viewed almost 70,000 times, with many people commenting to share their disappointment.“Makes me really uncomfortable that a man in Speedos is speaking for the kids about this topic, for so many reasons. Like who is he? How disturbing. I’m sorry about your experience, the world is bonkers,” another added.
As another raged: “This is so f–ked! What did they do after you asked them for their policy? Did they provide anything? Were you able to stay?”Others said Kathy was “right” and had shown “strength” by sharing their experience.News.com.au has contacted the Inner West Council for comment.
