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.
Silva had just finished working out at Planet Fitness' Fairbanks location, when she saw the person, whom she called 'a man with a penis,' carrying out his routine in front of a 12-year-old girl.
Silva, who has previously run for Fairbanks Borough Assembly, told the 'trans woman' they should really be using the male locker room.
The trans woman retorted they were 'LGB.'
Silva took a picture of the person and shared it online. And she was so shocked by what she had seen that she recounted her experience in a Facebook video.
'I just came out of Planet Fitness. There is a man shaving in the women's bathroom. I love him in Christ,' Silva began. 'He is a spiritual being having a human experience. He doesn't like his gender so he wants to be a woman, but I'm not comfortable with him shaving in my bathroom. I just thought I'd say it out loud.'
Silva - who has shared QAnon conspiracy theories on social media - also described the encounter in a written post online.

If they do it, LA and 24 hour fitness will surely follow suit soon.
In America everyone copies each other.
Go woke, go broke.
It feels good to be as strong as you can, as opposed to just being good enough.
And QAnon has exactly what to do with a man in a woman’s bathroom? Journalistic integrity at its finest.
Planet Fitness needs to feel a whole lot of “discomfort.”
Weather is not always good and there are many exercises that require indoor equipment.
I go mainly for the pool since you cant swim outdoors here most of the year
Effing pervaloons
I guess planet fitness is gonna have to get ready to lose a lot of people.
I hope this has a Bud Light effect.
“If you desire a ‘ripped’ body.... why? If your job or spouse doesn’t require you to, then be satisfied to just stay fit. After all, having a 600+ hp car isn’t all that great if you never use half that much power.”
“Ripped” are not always strong but strength and endurance are important for a man.
Strength is good for the same reason many people carry a gun and never use it. Just one time when you do need 100% power it might save your entire family’s life...
When I this stuff, I always show it to my democrat friends and ask: are you really going to vote to support this stuff again in November? They have no answer. In some ways I’m encouraged bc I can tell they think it’s wrong.
Planet Fitness is a very cheap gym.
I do go to the gym. In this cold, snowy place, how else would I exercise.?
Need that mile on the treadmill every day, and do weight training too. Weigh 118, so weight’s not the reason. My MD felt my upper arm muscle and said, “You’re very strong, you’ll live to be 100. “
I need to live longer than that to get my seriously b@tchy cat through her life. No one else would put up with her. At 7 years old she still bites me to get what she wants when she wants it..Neighbor’s cat lived to be 22.
115 years for me?
People should quit that stupid place. Let them survive on transgender business.
It has a bit more than just “discomfort”.
This is esg dei mandates. Support local gyms and screw the big ones.
I’d quit if I was a member....
We used to keep bars and weights around the house. But I’ll be 70 in July, and know my limits include remembering my nearly gone L4-L5 disc. :)
Perhaps they need to experience some discomfort in their pocketbook by cancelled memberships.
My dog [GOD?] is my personal trainer for daily hikes in the nearby National Forest. [It’s a mutual exercise thing.
