Been watching the BBC reports on the bullying young girls are facing in Uk Athletics? Well it's clear that poor treatment of female gymnasts comes from the top.
Here @BritGymnastics state that it will treat as transphobic bullying for a girl not to want to be naked with a boy
Here @BritGymnastics state that it will treat as transphobic bullying for a girl not to want to be naked with a boy
In another document @BritGymanstics completely misrepresents the Equality Act (the act provides no provision for males to use female changing/showers), and states that a girl who objects to be naked in front of boys is to be ostracised (and later disciplined)
So we can see that the blazers running the show @BritGymnastics have zero concern for girls in their care. If they don't want to be naked in front of boys they are to be punished, just like their parents or coaches are to be punished if they object on behalf of their girls.
The two documents in which @BritGymnastics illegally claim that girls do not have a right to single sex provision can be found here...

Are there groups out there like @SafeSchools_UK focussing on girls in sport rather than in the classroom.
Because this guidance looks identical to the guidance being withdrawn from schools throughout the country.

So @BritGymnastics I would strongly recommend referring this application for Judicial Review against an identical changing/showering policy to your lawyers. No authority is prepared to defend your policy as legal.

...And there are a lot of quotes and stats provided by @GIRESUK (who have been taken off the BBC advice pages for being untrustworthy) if you're wondering who have been giving illegal advice to @BritGymnastics
