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

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

1.)What other situations does the corporate policy of "shut the **** up and deal with it" apply?
2.)Doesn't that apply to her as well? She's allowed to complain all she wants, and everyone else should deal with it, because that's just who she is.

1.) you'd have to ask them, id guess it would apply to anything after the initial complain and concerns is breaking the rule
2.) no because its her breaking the rule

she had very clear options. Dont go in there when they are in there, use a private stall, cancel her own membership
she choose to break the rules and get it cancelled for herself :shrug:
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

I don't blame her. Their dangerous PC policy is bull****.
well theres no one to blame but her lol
and whats dangerous about it?
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

"No Judgment policy"? lmao


Rack up 450 lbs and do some deads and see how "non-judgmental" they are.

complain if you feel you got a case :shrug:
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

Did she slander the MAN that was caught using the Womens dressing room ? How did she slander him ??

And expecting to feel safe, secure in a dressing room set up for your gender has nothing to do with bigotry. I thought people on the left were pro-women.

The Transgender community is trying to bully its way into relevance and or using guilt to force people into compliance and I guarantee, that's going to backfire. Calling people " bigots " and other hateful insults doesn't increase sympathy or awareness.

On the contrary. It instills a sense of contempt for a group of people who are in the extreme minority, which the Transgender community is. You may think your making progress, but the reality is your breeding contempt and complacency.

There was nothing " hateful " about what she did, but you have no problem throwing slanderous terms of our own to try and minimize her right to feel safe and secure in a WOMENS dressing room. That overt hypocrisy doesn't go unnoticed.

You will never get true equality and respect through bullying and calling people " bigots " and hateful. What you WILL do is create a new level of contempt that never existed before and it will based on the fact that the Transgender agenda involves pro-active insults and accusations that amount to bullying.

Well it would seem that either this woman or the transgendered person would be uncomfortable in this gym situation. I know that many would rather see the trans person kicked out of everything and treated like less of a person, but it was either kick her out or thecomplainer. All the trans person wanted was to take a shower, which really shouldn't get you kicked out of a gym.

It would have been better to tell her she had a choice of gyms and let her decide for herself.

No thanks, I have a home gym comprised of a cage, and olympic weights. I pick things up and put them down and stand when I pee.
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

Doesn't that apply to her as well? She's allowed to complain all she wants, and everyone else should deal with it, because that's just who she is.

Should I have the right to go to your place of business or place of worship and complain about what I don't like of that place? Do you know how fast those places would call the cops and claim trespassing? Neither the business nor the Church would just let someone complain as they wish.

What does Planet fitness and the Church have in common in this instance??? Both have the right to determine who is allowed as members and their comportment in their buildings.

Its a no-judgement zone, so nobody is allowed to complain about her attitude or complaints. If she wants to be a bitch, you can't complain. If she wants to workout with her pubes showing, you can't complain. If she wants to yell while pumping iron, you can't complain.

The corporate policy sounds like a joke, rife for misuse.

good job problem solved . . .
ever use a prospot? I got one of those in my home gym among other things. I freaking love that thing. I have an old school one they look all freaky and hi-tech now. Its free wights but on cables with a locking system that works off your grip. You open your hand it locks and since its on cables it allows natural motion.

Never used one, don't see the point really. What can it do that my squat cage couldn't for a lot less money?

I havent even read that, its seems the person was just passing through to go to the lockers . . . no nudity, no ogling no nothing
you could be right though, im just saying I havent read that

the lady had real options she choose to be overdramtic and over played her hand and got herself axed
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint


You're the one claiming she made bigoted claims.

Now back up your claims.

Its the typical LGBT MO. Bullying through insults and threats and charges of " bigotry " and " hate ".
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

never really been a fan of them except for squats

also i know the pic isnt that good but it has a pulley system built into the back of it. You can get select plates or free weight system on that too. I have the free weight system.

So i like that with the very good incline, decline, leg and preacher bench I bought i can move it in and out of there and do what ever i like. Also has a lifetime warranty.
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

I don't have any issue with it. They are no more likely than women to do something as public a place as a locker room is.

I have changed with guys before.

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.

And please stop with the victim mentality. Where have I called anyone a homophobe in this thread or even another recent thread on this subject?

Never said you did. I am commenting on the victimization methodology used by the typical idiot who tries to push for unisex dressing rooms.
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

She had every right to complain.

Love the Transgender agendas approach. Atempting to guilt people into acceptance usually backfires.

She had every right to assume she wasnt going to be exposing herself to the opposite sex in the Women's Locker room.

She didn't make an ass of herself, LA Fitness stepped over the line amd has adopted an eexceptionally stupid policy.
A private gym made a policy. She didn't have to be a member there. I'm not for my own reasons and it's regarding one of their policies.

already did . . .nice try . . . .
she claimed its unsafe that is bigoted and based on hate


what is the LBGT MO?
Where is the bullying? the only bullying was what the lady did and it got her membership pulled

The corporate policy is that a "non-intimidating, welcoming environment for our members", enforced by determining that "behavior that club management deemed inappropriate and disruptive to other members" is grounds for membership revocation.

So my question to you is this:

if the club management determined that because the woman was intimidated by a transgender man in the woman's locker room, and because his use of the woman's locker room was deemed disruptive to other members, they terminated his membership, would you be complaining about their policy?

Cool, whatever works for you, I don't like "pulleys", "cables", and other gadgets, I like the simplicity of the cage as I can do everything I want, safely in it.

You can complain. That's your right, hell boycott if you wish.

[h=1]Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint[/h]
Mar 7, 2015, 5:42 PM ET
A Michigan woman's Planet Fitness membership was revoked after she complained about a transgender person in the women's locker room.Yvette Cormier, a 48, said she was walking into the Midland Planet Fitness locker room last Saturday when she saw someone "dressed like a man." The person was wearing a wig and "a little bit of blush," but was "huge" and appeared "very manly," Cormier told ABC News today. "I just stopped right there in my tracks," she said. "It was a man for sure." Cormier, who had been a Planet Fitness member for two months, said she went to the front desk immediately. The man at the desk told her that Planet Fitness policy is "whatever gender you feel you are, that's the locker room you're allowed to go in," she said. "And then he said, 'We've had lots of complaints about him but we told him to go change in a stall,'" Cormier said. "He said, 'if you're uncomfortable with that you can wait until he's done in there,'" she said. "I stood back and said, 'How about he waits until I'm done in the women's locker room. Or get a unisex bathroom.' He asked if I would like to talk to the manager and I said, 'I'm calling corporate.'" When she called the corporate offices, she said, someone there confirmed that the person at the front desk was correct about Planet Fitness policies. "I wouldn't have signed up for this gym if I knew that ahead of time," Cormier said, adding that the gym is "failing to protect me if anything happens in those locker rooms with a man." She said she went back to the gym the next few days and "told everyone in the locker room what happened." She said everyone she talked to "was appalled." On Thursday, Cormier said, Planet Fitness Corporate called and revoked her membership immediately. "They said, 'You are talking to people about him in the women's locker room. You are making people upset.' That's my whole point," she said. "I'm telling them and warning them because you are not doing that. You allow men in there, and we are appalled by it." Planet Fitness Director of Public Relations McCall Gosselin said the gym is "committed to creating a non-intimidating, welcoming environment for our members. Our gender identity non-discrimination policy states that members and guests may use all gym facilities based on their sincere self-reported gender identity."






Wow so this lady made a complete ass of herself hahaha
I love that she made such an ass of herself and a stink of this that HER membership was cancelled. That's awesome. I'd like to know what danger she was talking about.

umm no the guy thinking he has the right to go into a womens bathroom is what is screwed up. the fact that you fail to address this women's concern and right to be upset with having a man in her locker room is what is sad.

this women should sue. the gym failed to provide a safe and protective environment for women by allowing men to enter the women's locker room.
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

And the business had every right to tell her to piss off.

that is discrimination against women. so no they can't. she did nothing wrong. that guy should have never been in the women bathroom.

No, you didn't.

You claimed she made bigoted claims and then posted a bunch of links.

The bullying is throwing around insults and accusations just becakse someone disagrees with your opinion.

Now what exactly did she say that was " bigoted " ?
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

Pre-op Trans need to be self aware and considerate of others, post op trans should be treated as the gender they are.

guys are guys and need to stay out of women's locker rooms. they aren't women never will be. the fact you keep deluding yourself doesn't change facts.
 
Re: Planet Fitness Revokes Woman's Membership After Transgender Complaint

A private gym made a policy. She didn't have to be a member there. I'm not for my own reasons and it's regarding one of their policies.

Its a really stupid and twisted policy and she had every right not to feel threatened in their WOMEN'S dressing room.

She had every right to assume that she wouldn't be undressing next to some strange man.
