Snopes is not an impartial fact checker.

Pleas do not post Snopes here. They are bogus.

Snooes does its best to propagandize the issue (and ignored the rape - painting her as a vanilla bigot) but the fact remains planet fitness let a man use the women’s restroom and kicked the female out because they believed the mans sincerity (and not actual medical paperwork)

Snopes is two aging hippies in a trailer spewing leftist propaganda.

The disgusting leftist that runs “snopes” is not to be trusted on any account.

Went to your link... kinda sucked.

It added nothing to the story, except a bunch of mealy mouthed after-the-fact excuses and the usual left wing obfuscation by the discredited Snopes.

Bottom line, they encourage fags and men who genitally mutilate to use female locker rooms.... with other people's wives and daughters.

Snopes says it is false that Planet Fitness allows men in the women’s dressing room, but then quotes this:

“Planet Fitness does allow transgender men and women to use the locker room that corresponds with their “sincere self-reported gender identity,” but nowhere does their policy state that men are allowed to women’s bathrooms, or vice versa.”

I guess if you are dumb enough to think a dude can put on a dress and become a woman, this makes sense.

I ain’t believing this story and I ain’t reading Snopes.
I can’t imagine Planet Fitness paying off the liability for
the negligence if someone were raped by a man putting
on lipstick in the their locker room. Don’t think
they could be that stupid.

Snopes was a web site ran by a couple and their fat cat. Two people in other words. Originally it was for the most part non political.

When they became political they admitted they are Socialist Actvists and Social Justice Warrior.

Then the husband cheated on his wife with BDSM hooker. He got the web site in the divorce, and the BDSM HOOKER writes all the stories. Probably for sex with the perv and cheater. She even admits to be under the influence of drugs when she writes now.

So that’s who you are trusting for news......

I suggest you go directly to the source.

I noticed your name is Cuban Leaf. It’s like going to Fidel Castro for truth or going to the Devil.

Thanks. A key phrase at snopes is “Planet Fitness does allow transgender men and women to use the locker room that corresponds with their “sincere self-reported gender identity,” but nowhere does their policy state that men are allowed to women’s bathrooms, or vice versa. “

So they are screwing around with words. Snopes confirms that Planet Fitness DOES allow men that identify as women to use the women’s locker rooms. Apparently snopes does not consider a man that identifies as a woman to be a man. All these people are friggin’ nuts.

Snopes is not a reliable source for anything. They are very left wing biased.

This is today's double speak.

Planet Fitness does allow transgender men and women to use the locker room that corresponds with their “sincere self-reported gender identity,” but nowhere does their policy state that men are allowed to women’s bathrooms, or vice versa.

Planet Fitness does allow transgender men and women to use the same locker room
nowhere does their policy state that men are allowed to women’s bathrooms, or vice versa.

The difference is between persons identifying with the DNA they were born with and persons identifying with their delusion sharing the locker room.

The policy gets a bit sticky now; the bathrooms have a different policy.

In the case of toilet facilities, nowhere does the policy say you can share. Since it doesn’t say you can share that could be interpreted to mean you can’t.

Have you ever been to a home or business or office that notified everyone that the male and female bathroom facilities are exclusive? We take that as a given do we not?

Comment: A transgender man is a person born with female DNA but took a decision to identify to others as a male?

Comment: A transgender woman is a person born with male DNA but took a decision to identify to others as a female.

1. A similar complaint was levied against the business in 2015.
2. This story has been reported through other newsier channels.

Leftist Snopes claims the story is “mostly false” yet their own description proves it’s true. They state that “Planet Fitness does allow transgender men and women to use the locker room that corresponds with their “sincere self-reported gender identity,” but nowhere does their policy state that men are allowed to women’s bathrooms, or vice versa”. That’s a distinction without a difference. If a man who claims to identify as a woman can use the women’s locker room, then yes, men can use the women’s locker room.

Talk about splitting hairs!
