Women and children need safe spaces too. We are deserving of that dignity and safety.

Sex is sex and gender is gender! So no male sexed people in a women‘s place!

This space has been a female only pool for centuries. It's history is that of an Indigenous site alotted historically for exclusively women and it should remain as such to honour the Indigenous people and women as welcome and important people worthy of respect in society. As there are many other pools where males are welcome, maintaining this one as women and children only does not raise an issue of access, and in fact expands access for women and children who would not otherwise use mixed sex facilities due to personal beliefs, religious reasons, or health concerns.

When biological males, of any identity, have so many places to swim where they feel safe, why do we seek to take that right away from females? Who benefits? Certainly not women.

When you say you've been letting "transexuals" in, you mean women who have done surgery ("trans men") right? What's the point in calling yourself female only if you let literal males ("trans women") in just because these men have had surgery? It's male entitlement through and through. Hopefully you ladies will win and let this one space be for women only!

Young girls, abused and disabled women are amongst the many women who use this as a safe haven. I seen no good reason to take that away

There is only 1 out of 35 that is for women only, we can't have 1?

Women and children have every right to be safe from men, especially in places where they are most vulnerable which is why they have a bathing place safe from men.

People won’t sign because they are scared. Why are we so blind sighted??

I support the sex segregated space offered and believe it should stay female only.

Please consider that allowing trans identified male people will have the effect of EXCLUDING women of various faiths who don’t intermingle with men. Stay strong ladies! You’ve got this!

I will not travel to nor live in places that refuse to protect women and children.

We deserve our own spaces. If it was a men’s only bath there would be no objections

The rights of women and girls should not be overridden and single-sex spaces must be maintained: it is not socially progressive to make them mixed.

Call it a Female pool if that helps! #SexNotGender

Women have a right to spaces free from males, for any reason. There are multiple other pools for male bodied people to swim. Please defend women's rights.

Women (adult human females) and children deserve spaces away from men!!
