Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint[W:245:463:992]

That right there is an issue. Everyone should know what a Smith machine is - and why it typically shouldn't be used.

Why??

I think it's far more valuable information to know what a can shaft is and what it does verses jargon about picking up heavy things than setting them down again. It's funny how weak weight lifters really are.

Heck, it's not only unmanly, but un-womanly to work out at any fitness facility that doesn't offer serious weight equipment. Men and women have the same basic need for serious physical exercise. We have all the same muscles and are anatomically 96.365% the same.

I wasn't aware that having what you deem "serious" equipment was at all tired to sex.

Going to the gym to walk a few minutes on the treadmill is pointless as walking can be done anywhere. Same with flailing around a pair of plastic or chrome plated two pound dumbbells.

Yet many fitness club's have that equipment. Must not be pointless to many people.

By the way, I do lift things. I normally have a reason for it, it's normally people. Sometimes objects. Work requires it. I'm moving into a new field where I'll be lifting heavy iron all day long. Does that count as lifting?

They allowed a man to freely go into the women's locker room, while women were in there undressing.

That is absolutely a failure to provide a safe and protective environment for the women involved.

You havnt posted facts. Youve posted your opinion.

That's a standard wrong-wing approach to trying to salvage a hopelessly-losing argument—accuse one's adversary of “hate” and “bigotry”.

Why is it that weight lifters are always weak and easy to catch?

I would do it if all that crap really have me stamina and strength, but it doesn't. I used to. I got pretty big than I started fighting. Found out big equals slow weak and clumsy.

So why lift?

what makes the policy "secret"
I mean obviously there weren't signs posted but that doesnt [sic] mean it was secret

It is pretty much a standard expectation, that one can take for granted, that only men are allowed in men's locker rooms, and only women are allowed in women's locker rooms.

For a facility to allow anyone to freely use the opposite sex's locker rooms is so far out of what is normal or socially-acceptable, that I have to think that any facility that has a such a policy owes it to all of its members to explicitly warn them that while using the appropriate-sex locker rooms at that facility, that they are not assured the privacy and safety that one normally expects and takes for granted.

If they continue in this direction, they will become a club exclusive to people who are confused about what sex they are.

So what? It's their club. You don't have to be a member.

I bet it's easy for many people to get more exercise just going to a Planet Fitness facility, and then going home afterward, than they get while they are at that facility.

3.) no additional "warnings" are needed for equality policies

  1. Facts defeat you.
  2. Your post fails.
  3. You are 100% factually incorrect.
  4. No honest or educated person agrees with you.
  5. Facts win again. LOL

Whoopee for you! Therefor make everyone do the same! :roll:

And I don't really care if YOU are fine with it, that isn't a rational argument.



Never said you did. I am commenting on the victimization methodology used by the typical idiot who tries to push for unisex dressing rooms.

There's plenty of righties playing victim here too. The woman in question had the right to go to a different gym if she disagreed with this gym's policies. It should have been made clear to her that this gym, a business, had a certain policy and she could go elsewhere if she chose not to live with it. If it continued to happen (which may be the case), then she could have her membership revoked for choosing not to abide by the policy.

For all the talk of a business having the right to terminate an employee for not adhering to the owner's religious whims, you'd think the right would support a business' right to its own policy.

All lifting does is make you big and clumsy. Your fighting skills may improve if you quit playing in the jungle gyms and practice your skills.

so im so curious

do people actually think this lady was not given doable solutions?
After her initial complaint/concern which i understand and she was informed of the equality and no judgment policy and told she can use private stalls or not go in there at the same times was that not enough?

Since we can't go back in time and inform her pf doesnt discriminate once she came to the front desk, was made aware of thier policies what should pf have done?

It should have been made clear to *everyone* upon applying to, or joining the gym. That they would only inform members of this after being surprised in the locker room is utterly nonsensical.
