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

Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

Sounds like she's the pervert checking out other people who are changing and may be naked. I can't stand those nosy perverts who glance at me when I'm just trying to change quickly.
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint[W:245]

I would have called the police and cancelled my membership.
How am I to know this is a transgender and not a pervert pretending to be? Put in a family bathroom or something, but don't make me worry about my safety. Transgenders don't come with certificate.

OK, but how do you know that the men's locker room isn't crawling with gay rapists? I suppose they could do a background check on all prospective members but that seems unnecessary for a gym.

From my post

how does that stop the possibility of rapist?
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

not one person in this entire thread as claimed that those opposed to the policy are bigoted based on that alone. not one :D

You used the term bigot a couple of times and rogue seemed to clearly imply that being against the policy is to be a bigot... just can't find the quote.
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint[W:245]

Any person, of either sex/gender, can be a "pervert", and in many different ways. No one comes with a "I'm a sexual predator" certificate or "scarlet letter". There is no reason for anyone to believe that trans women, trans men, or men in general are automatically a danger to women just because they are in the locker room with them. I changed in an area with about 20 guys (although not at the same time), and worked in an area where I was almost always the only woman among at least 5 guys and not once did I fear for my safety from these guys harming me, which they could have accomplished much easier in the setting than anyone in a gym locker room could.

Worked in an area... as in worked with the guys? An important distinction.
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

you have evidence it was an entire locker room? lol please provide that now because there is none.
Best part is even if it was (though it FACTUALLY was not) it still doesnt matter PF makes the rules :shrug:

He didn't say it was the entire locker room... he CLEARLY said that they had "recieved lots of complaints" about the guy... nice try though ;)

yes that is 100% correct, I sure did, just not in the manner you expressed
I can't speak for rogue but I doubt it was ised in the manner you sugessted either

being against this policy alone or feeling that somethign else should be done is not bigoted.

calling the person a pervert sex freak who is stalking the womans locker room is 100% bigoted and a lie, insisting that the presence of a transgender alone is dangerous, is also 100% bigoted and a lie.
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

From what is known one woman was uncomfortable, not "an entire locker room." While it is fairly probable that there was another who didn't say anything, there would be those who are comfortable, and likely that as many men would be uncomfortable.

Two things... one, PF recieved other complaints and two, the general rule is that for every complaint that you do get there are at least ten others who do not complain but will hold it against you and/or take their business elsewhere.

I guess I fail to see how this relates to the previous posts or what I originally said. At PF it doesn't matter, at most other places there are consequences.


No, you can't please everybody, but I don't think the answer is to make an entire locker room of women uncomfortable so that one person can be slightly less uncomfortable - but PF wants to try it out so I guess we'll get to see how it goes.

you were saying? ;)
Yes Bodi nice try . . . on your part but it was a swing and a miss buddy! lol

sooo did you get that software to work, when do i get to see these masterpieces your daughter did?

This one has more texture than can be seen and a lot of very subtle yellow that brings a kinda theme to it that is hard to tell...

Try to see this with some land in the forefront, bottom part, with a lake in the blue, some purple hills next and then the sky with thunderclouds at the top... mixed in are lots of pieces of imagery for the viewer to determine as well as leaves and such...

Re: PERVERT Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

How about we just let people live their lives without judging them? Maybe we could try that. Maybe we could let the person who is without sin cast the first stone. Personal freedom - it means more than guns. If the woman had just shrugged and let everybody get on with their day, no problem for anyone.

Now she's a cause celebre for the right because it lets them feel like the victims.

Because judging people is inherent to humanity and you do it yourself all the time... it is just easier to recognize when we judge a rapist or murderer than people on the street. I would bet money you judge gang bangers wearing their grill trying to be pimp with some ho's on their arm...
 
Re: PERVERT Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint



WTF? I can't imagine any woman not being alarmed/worried if that guy walked in while they were changing... hell, I would be a little worried myself. ...and he thinks he is a woman? ****ing hell...

Agreed... I just feel it makes things much easier and then we move on.
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint[W:245]

Worked in an area... as in worked with the guys? An important distinction.

I was a watchstander in the engine room. Most of the watch teams were mainly male, since there are still few women in the military, even if the nuke program is getting more and more. In port, I could easily be the only woman on watch, alone in the plant for hours with just other male watchstanders, and few others around. Definitely a greater risk than a locker room, in an open gym, where people cycle in and out all the time.

According to the woman. Plus, they could have been the exact same complaint she made, which is no different than getting complaints about someone breastfeeding in the fitting room or just on a mall bench, but it being allowed by the store or mall.

You were in the military... you had to change because of orders and you were all trained.

According to the woman.

And "according to" PF they got some complaints about her...

She does... yesterday she started a really amazing looking one that I am sure she will finish today...

No I didn't. I changed with the guys for my convenience. I asked my Chief if that would be ok because I was having to walk a quarter of a mile to the gym and back to change into uniform, while the guys changed at our shop.

run a ridiculous amount of electricity through the door.

Of course, you'll kill the odd family member, but.../shrug
