Non Binary Gym Changing Rooms

I’ve just had an email from a gym I use explaining that their changing rooms are going to become gender neutral. I don’t even know where to start to reply. The email states that they’re proud to do this.

I want to reply with the reasons that I’m cancelling my membership, but all I’ve got so far is, “What, seriously?”

Maybe I should just send this - Just under 90 per cent of complaints regarding changing room sexual assaults, voyeurism and harassment are about incidents in unisex facilities. Because they have made the changing rooms unisex, haven’t they?

Edited to correct the term as ‘gender neutral’

I could understand if gyms created a 3rd space for those who want to gender neutral/fluid/whatever they want, but those of us who want to remain as we were born ee should have that choice.

Unless of course they go down the “family” cubicle route, so big space, lots of cubicles with locks…

I guess tell them that you're not comfortable getting changed with biological males so are cancelling your membership.

Yes, I do. Sorry, have been picking bits out of their email.

Do you mean gender neutral?
