She quickly got the attention of all the girls who were part of our group and herded them into the private stalls.."While this was happening, the man proceeded to get undressed and walk around the room naked, penis hanging out in full view of all of them," Eisses said.."My two oldest daughters, 13 and 15, were witnesses to the event. We know lots of other people who also witnessed it.".READ MORE: Calgary police say there was no transgendered indecent exposure at Canyon Meadows Pool.The Calgary Police Service (CPS) is so far refusing to answer questions from the Western Standard about a recent incident at a Calgary pool involving a transgender woman getting naked in front of girls..Several calls were made to the CPS to inquire about the investigation, but no questions were answered and no one has responded on behalf of the police.."My wife and other concerned parents spoke to the managers and staff at the pool. I spoke to my city councilor's office, I spoke to the Community Resource Office at the police station," Eisses said.."They all gave us largely the same line, if the individual identifies as a woman, then it's the right of the individual to access the changing room. This was completely unsatisfactory, of course.".READ MORE: Parent furious transgendered men allowed into girls' changing room at Calgary pools.Eisses said he was told there was nothing the City of Calgary could do, and that was the end of that.."My daughters were appalled, and they felt threatened and unsafe after it happened. My wife and I were furious that this man would enter and undress, that the pool would allow it, that the police did nothing about it," Eisses said.."We are upset that the laws of our society do not protect the most vulnerable among us, young girls and children. We are upset that the city facilities are not a safe place for children.".Eisses said to pour salt in the wound, just a few days ago the city released a statement from CPS stating that the parent's reports about the incident were untrue.."This really beat all," Eisses said.."First, the city and police refuse to help us as a man exposes himself to my young girls. And then, they call us liars for reporting it to them and speaking out on social media.".Eisses said he believes that the city's response is gaslighting in a severe and public fashion.."Over the last several days, people have now taken to social media to shame the parents who reported on this incident," Eisses said.."We are told we are a bunch of angry peasants with pitchforks, hateful, looking for excuses to attack people. Our leaders have covered themselves in shame. Where can parents go if their elected officials and police officers won't listen? When our leaders slander those very same concerned citizens for reporting the truth?".Eisses said it took a lot of courage to come forward to the media but as a father, it is his job to protect his children.."I want people to know the truth, and to set the record straight. The CPS has lied directly to the public about what happened," Eisses said.."They received MULTIPLE reports from eye-witnesses describing the incident. This behaviour on their part is completely unacceptable.".The Western Standard reached out to CPS to clarify what was reported "wrong" on social media, but hasn't heard back.
