Planet fitness (US) once again a man's wishes over the safety and privacy of their female clientele, and revokes a woman's membership when she complains.
Tell me again how this won't happen, and no one will abuse self ID

Wow.

Unusually forthright report... it looks like that's a fairly extreme 'pro life' catholic site? And Liberty Counsel isn't quite as that piece implies....

But nevertheless, it could be an important test case, if the events have been described accurately.

Can any legal bods chip in here?

What would happen if a woman was attacked by a male who had entered the women’s locker room in such a situation (nb: I’m not specifically talking about transwomen, I’m talking about a generic male who has identified in for the purpose of assaulting a woman.)

Would the woman have a case against the gym for not providing a safe environment?

I’m just wondering if the insurance underwriters will turn out to be the saviours here ...

Yes this never happens. Shifting constellations of assorted phenomena are always genuine and only ever want to use the facilities. They definitely don’t monopolise changing rooms for an hour to intimidate women. So I have no idea what you’re on about here.

Not going to happen. You have imagined the article and planted it in my brain.

Sorry, should have said 'prioritise' a man's wishes
