Planet Fitness has refused to walk back its decision to ban a member who exposed a 'trans woman' shaving in the female locker room.
The statement, which was shared by the Libs of TikTok Twitter account, said although some members may feel uncomfortable sharing facilities, 'This discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender member.'
The comments come after Patricia Silva detailed at incident at her Alaska gym where she saw a transgender woman shaving in her locker room.

Their stock is PLNT. I’m seriously considering buying some puts or maybe selling some near call spreads.

This should be bad news for PF when the first sexual attack happens in the women's room. And it will.
Pre-existing knowledge.

Impossible to change genders. If the guy claims he is, then he should whack off that piece of plumbing that shows he is a male. Otherwise. All that guy wants to do is be in the women’s changing room so he can watch.

Maybe they don’t have any women members #1. Your proposal sounds like a good idea.
Maybe like the economic model where everyone in town makes a living by doing each other’s laundry, 1/2 of the male members can “be””female” and the male 1/2 can burst in on the “female” 1/2 like Joke Bidet coming into his daughter’s shower.
The good news : the men’s locker room isn’t crowded.
But seriously, back to #1’s point, i think i will. Of course they could reverse course. Or are they tainted now with the odor of mendacity?

If enough ladies cancel their memberships they’ll notice. Getting hammered is the only thing they really understand.

This stuff will continue as long as women put up with it. Women need to refuse to participate in sports with a man masquerading as a woman, and quit health clubs that allow men in womens' dressing roooms. It will continue as long as women allow it. Like with Bud Light, the only way to get corporate types' attention is through their pocketbooks.

And yet another wokester company about to self-destruct and disappear. Yet another un-forced error.
Women of America who work out at Planet, stand up and push back against this garbage. You don't need some male pervert standing next to you in the change room pretending to be female.

I didn't join PP because they insisted on drafting monthly payments from my bank account. Nobody gets to do that. Women should file some sort of class action lawsuit against PF and stand by their decision.

Everyone knows that Planet Fitness is not a real gym. This is a bad policy of angering your customers to placate blue-haired land whales that don’t work out

If women don't like it they need to stop going to Planet Fitness.
Send Planet Fitness a message they can understand.
make it about the bucks.

I’ve never been in a Planet Fitness but with a $10/month membership fee I can’t imagine that the clientele , equipment or shower facilities are first class.

A few years ago, I was in the women's only exercise room at a Gold's gym. I was the only woman in the room. A weird man (from an Asian background) came in there and was standing between me and the only door. The music was VERY loud. I didn't feel comfortable. I left and never went back. I have my membership thru Silver Sneakers.
Silver Sneakers has lots of online exercise options. And that is the best No Judgement Zone!

FTA "...although some members may feel uncomfortable sharing facilities, 'This discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender member.'
Why not? Why are biological men who "identify as women"(but are no such thing) allowed to fear attacks by biological males, while the fear felt by biological women is dismissed as mere "discomfort" and "no reason to deny" biological males access to the private spaces every biological female deserves?

Great for their competition. What a pack of idiots. I guess they want to go out of business.

Fairbanks is pretty conservative. I can't imagine a woman wanting to work out there, but it'd be great to see men and women both walk away in solidarity so that specific location has to close due to losing money.

If you make your members uncomfortable, it is cause for your members to go elsewhere.
Goodnight Planet Fitness.

One got built a couple of years ago in the city not far from me and I still have no desire to join. I'll just keep on going to the military base gym where sanity still reigns.

If a "transwoman" exposes his genitals in the women's locker room, someone should call the police for violating the indecent exposure law.
