Fuck that bitch. I'm glad they cancelled it. You stand out front and broadcast to the world to "be careful, there's a person going through one of the most difficult times of her life and they try to make her feel welcome."

It's in their policies. Maybe read that shit before you sign up.

Or...I'm a perverted guy who wants to watch chicks undress so I'm gonna claim I'm a woman at heart to get into their locker room.

That guy is a dude and he should change with the dudes.

sounds like the lady honestly thought there was a guy in the locker room, so went to ask about it at the front desk. got twisted into a load of unnecessary drama over transexuals when the guy happened to be a girl too. media will be media

All of these. Can I go buy a sports bra and some yoga pants and be like, I'm psychologically a girl and no one can tell me otherwise and I don't want to change with the men. You got Y you're a guy.

I guess one way out of this is to make more changing rooms, but then they'll be like wah, we're not equal to the 'normal genders'... not sure what to call them, there's only two...

She makes a good point. There should be just one locker room and individual changing rooms called "Self Shame Stalls". Freedom.

Yeah and all he had to do to creep his dirty hetero perv self in there was turn his dick into a vagina, do years of hormone therapy and get some big jiggly tits.


With such a low threshold like that, I'm sure every oogling perv will be in there in no time. #slipperyslope #notinGodssauna

My understanding was that it was a man who just identifies himself as a woman. He has had no surgeries or hormone therapy, he has all the parts if a man. He went into to the locker room dressed and looking like a man. I think that would throw any woman off

I see both sides to the story. Yes it could've been a misunderstanding by a woman who legitimately thought there was a man in the locker room, yes it could've actually been a dude just checking out women, but considering how hard it is to deal with going through a sex change and the amount of press gender related issues are receiving these days it makes sense that the gym would take a firm and relatively uninformed stance to publicly elevate itself onto a higher moral platform.

On the plus side that woman doesn't have to keep working out at Planet Shitness

i thought transgender usually implies no operation, where transsexual implies full commitment (whether pre-op or post-op). so in this case he/she has the body of a dude but "identifies" with women

The only part you could consider 'inaccurate' is that I called the trans a man.. But really, a many male who think he's a female is still a male

Will that is proportionally more then everyone else gets. think about it 10 stalls for girls 10 stalls for guys 1 stall for trans, 5 % of the stalls for a much smaller portion of society

i could see some sexy, fit young chick getting upset if this man creature popped a clit boner while checking her out.

I personally think the whole transgender movement is a fabrication from society. How we assign gender roles to both sex's. So when a person feels they don't fit the gender roles they want to be the opposite.

i have never really taken the time to understand transgender things properly so i'm not gonna talk about that. But from a medical perspective babies born with sexual ambiguity is more common that most people realise:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex


if you scroll down you see the rates, not sure where transgenderism fits in but fruit for thought, it pays to be a bit more sensitive to some issues

We don't know what happened and if there was a guy wearing a t-shirt jeans and had a penis walking around the lockerroom. I don't think she overreacted at all, how would you like it if you made out with a girl at bar took her back to your house, took her clothes off and then she had a penis.

Did you read the article? whether it was "a guy wearing a t-shirt jeans and had a penis walking around the lockerroom" is irrelevant. She complained to the front desk and to the corporate HQ, and was given the same response. That's where it should have ended. Going into the locker room everyday for the rest of the week and making a scene to "get the word out" was a real cunty thing to do.

I'm 1000% for gay rights but idk about the whole tranny thing man...

Maybe I'm ignorant but if my GF was in the change room and a guy went in id be upset regardless of his "transitional status". A guy is a guy, a woman is a woman.


And don't even get me started on people who want a third gender neutral bathroom or changing room for these types. Out of control off the rails political correctness. Shits whack.

Political correctness today is completely out of control. The woman should feel 100% offended. Who cares what the guy thought, or what gender he associated himself with. He has a dick, hes a dude. That right there is a mental problem he has. Im all for gay rights, etc. But the line has to be drawn somewhere. Plus planet fitness is one of the shittiest companies on the face of the planet. I had a buddy who got kicked out one day because he set the alarm off after squating a fair amount of weight because it offended someone. And another person who got kicked out because she was working out on a bike really hard, sweating, breathing heavy, etc and a fatty got offended.

this is a weird scenario. My stance on the whole LBGT movement is that with all this transsexual/transgendered stuff, we haven't allowed that much time yet for it for people to get used to it, honestly. this is still a fairly new thing to people, but the last thing we should be doing is penalizing and punishing people for simply misunderstanding things.

Or... Rather than getting used to it people with penises can change in the room that doesn't have the person wearing a skirt on the sign on the way in.

yeah but how do we know this wont happen in the mens room where some guy could complain there is a dude with tits in there? Again, no one is used to the whole idea of being transexual/transgender so everyone is gonna be weirded out for a while.
