Bigot complains about transgendered person, gets gym membership revoked

[Aeson]

a) free pizza is awesome no matter how much money you make (unless it's [nystyle|chicagostyle]))
b) Poly has taught me that all women are biologically identical, as they are identical in their man-hating ideology.

Besides which, most MTF transsexuals just plain don't look like women. They look like men wearing women's clothing, and sometimes other **** like makeup and nail polish.

Most toupees look fake. I've never seen a convincing one.

Sava, it's not transgender denial. It's about not seeing penises where you change and shower at the gym. It's also about protecting privacy. What's to stop a man from joining Planet Fitness and just walking into the female locker room with the sole purpose of oogling the women?

Now besides and Penis and Penis-Free locker room labeling idea, I'd also like to say that I like how my gym at the YMCA does it. There are three locker rooms: men, women and family. The family locker room consists of the standard locker area and several private changing/toilet/shower rooms. You store your stuff in a locker then change and shower in one of the rooms.

[Aeson]

My understanding is the YMCA offers a Free-Penis area, not Penis-Free.

Ha-ha. Kinda walked into that one...

In other news, I've found an article that delves further into this issue. The woman who complained did not get her membership revoked for complaining; she got it revoked for going back to the gym after she got her response from corporate and causing problems/passing judgement/not listening to what corporate had to say. She went back to the gym for 4 days in a row disparaging this transgender woman and 'warning' the other women that a man was using their locker room. Corporate contacted her and asked her to stop. She refused. That's when they revoked her membership; and good for them.

What's to stop a lesbian?

I find it really shocking what computer science seniors at CMU who already have jobs lined up that pay over $100,000 a year will attend just for free food. If I want a pizza I'll just buy one, that's what I earn money for jesus christ.

Also KH that's how all gyms work. It's why they make you pay for 12 months of membership and you can't pay by check, it has to be automatic debit.

That's clear, but planet fitness is a little more blatant than most.

Nothing, and that's my point. There is no way to know what thoughts are going on in someones mind. As such, a thought process should not be a determining factor for which locker room is used. Unless there is a third locker room, it should remain with physical traits.

So you want the transgenders to use the same locker room as kids?

I will reiterate my earlier concern involving gay men and child rape. Your scenario is equally as stupid. Let's go one further. If we allow gay marriage, what's to stop people from marrying farm animals?

That definitely makes the action by Planet Gym sound justified

[Pedotard]

Why does it matter?

[N35t0r]

Also, 'the' transgenders

[Kidlicious]

Why does it matter?

For one they never asked to use the family locker room.

Donegeal's gym != the Planet Fitness in question
