Planet Fitness STANDS BY decision to allow men in women's locker rooms and warns members that their 'discomfort' is not a reason to exclude transgender people

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.

I work for Postal Service in a big sorting center. I don’t know of any “tranny” employees and the bathrooms and locker rooms are designated men and women. So far no rules about people being able to use the rest room for the genders they have transitioned to.

Odd moment for once—at a bar/nightclub in Peabody MA (now gone) I went into a rest room. There was no sign on the door. Was in a stall and heard women’s voices as they entered. “Hmm, I don’t recall seeing a urinal..” So I headed out and one lady said “what are you doing here?” —”Sorry,
there was no sign!!”

Some places have gender free rest rooms—especially bathrooms that can only do one person at a time, or a porta potty. Or:
“Men’s room out of order, use ladies room”—another only-big-enough for one...

>And why is anyone shaving in a gym?

I don’t even go to gyms and I know that. People run out the door, go to the gym, work out, shower, shave, dress, and go to work.

Thanks! I checked out one branch down here to join, but they had all that “gymtimidation” and “no denim or sleeveless shirts allowed” nonsense, so I left.

I always assume that anyone who leaves the house unshaven has no intention of shaving. Grunge is its own reason for being. :)
Public shower sounds like something you get in Paris or Rome, along with the consequences...

I’ve never understood the proclivity for “ gyms “.

You can exercise outdoors, while getting free Vitamin D from God’s sunshine.

Ben,

I've always felt the same way also about the exercise experience.

As my parents used to say when I was a kid... "you can SELL anything to anybody who doesn't think for themself."

A bar in Destin, FL had a sign on one restroom door:

MEN
This is the Ladies' Room.
The Men's Room is behind you.

The other room had a similar sign warning the Ladies that it was the Men's Room.

Drunks rarely read the fine print.

Hilarity ensues ...

After MSM made the world aware that they lie about people who love the truth via bloodbath, readers are going to interpret QANON followers as people who search for and love the truth.

Last year, I found out one of my spine discs is gone. If I’m correct about what I’m assuming a disc is, do you have any idea why one would lose a disc?

Hopefully, Riley Gaines and other women athletes are successful suing NCAA for allowing men into women’s locker rooms and sports competitions. Studies have shown men are stronger & faster than women - including men who’ve blocked testosterone and are on estrogen - so the courts will have to rule for truth. With bad news swiftly coming out about the lying, mutilating ‘gender-affirming care,’ trans support will disappear.

I think it’s called degenerative disc. The disc simply wears out. And since it’s not bone it dissolves somwhat. Disc fragments are still hard enough to press on nerves. Injury seems to be the most common cause of one single disc deteriorating before the others.

That’s my case. Thankfully, a microdiscectomy in 2000 removed the troublesome fragments I had causing me pain at the L4-L5 and all the way down my left leg.
