virgin active changing room policy

Does anyone know Virgin Active's policy for changing rooms? There was a "woman" displaying male genitals while changing in the women's this morning. Women's, not family. I'll be honest, I didn't feel comfortable getting undressed. Before I'm accused of staring, it was hard to miss as the person was right where you come out of the showers.

VA aren't going to care are they?

Under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 indecent exposure is an offence where someone intentionally exposes their genitals with the intention of being seen and causing alarm or distress.

This.

Report it to reception and to the police. Put it on Twitter. Women need to know if they're paying to be flashed at.

They’ll care if all their female (as in those of us who are not penis-havers) customers stop paying membership fees because they don’t want to encounter any more penises belonging to any of the 58 genders in the women’s changing room.

Get this on social media and tag it

Am I so old fashioned to think that someone with male genitals is not a woman?

Ask.
Then vote with your feet.

I would have reported it right away I think. They may struggle to do anything after the even unless they can find him entering the room on a camera.

Since I'm not Laurie Penny I'm not going to tell you not to stare at male genitals in a female changing room.

It's appalling, OP. Please report it and don't let anyone fob you off with the penis person having girly feelz, so it's all A-ok. It is not.

That's grim. I'd report it as flashing personally.
No place for the naked penis in women's spaces.
