Planet Fitness Trans Saga

Planet Fitness is a franchisor with 2.5k gyms in North America. A woman entered her local gym in Alaska to find a man standing in front of the mirror shaving. A 12 year old girl in a towel was sitting in the corner. The woman confronted the man who said he was LGBTQ and could be there. She asked him to leave and he refused. She took his photo (he was fully dressed with shirt hair and looks exactly like any other bloke) and complained to the front desk, who did nothing. She has now had her membership canceled and she has been reported for taking a photo of a member which is against the rules.
She said she is going to report his presence to police.

$400million dollars off their share price - serves them right.

Always worth remembering that when M. Willoughby insists that you'd never know the difference and how could you say no to them, they are throwing open the door and marching over you in company with this chap. And they know it.

I hadn't realised there was a 12 year old girl in there too.

I hope this sinks the wretched company without trace.

SidewaysOtter · 24/03/2024 21:02

They didn’t learn the Bud Light lesson, did they?

Cosmosforbreakfast · 24/03/2024 21:12

Any company happy to put a 12 year old girl in danger like that deserves the loss. Shame on them and well done to Patricia Silva for bringing this to public attention.

Helleofabore · 24/03/2024 21:21

I also had no idea that a 12 year old girl was in there.

I have been watching this on and off though. I think this is piqueing a great deal of interest.

Cazpar · 24/03/2024 21:24

Given she's ranting on Facebook about this person being a "pedo" (with no apparent evidence) I'd take what she says with a pinch of salt. I would be interested to hear the staffs version of events.

Queenmaker · 24/03/2024 21:25

I admire her for telling women to speak up as we have the "authority" to do it, and she doesn't seem remotely scared or bothered to state the bleedin' obvious.

Planet Fitness is everywhere here in the USA and it's an extremely bad look, as she says, to prioritize a man over a 12 year old girl.

He is now being accompanied by staff in and out of the changing room, while the woman who complained was told she could always use a cubicle and then had her membership canceled.

What would you call a man who wants to undress next to little girls ?

Any man wanting to share a changing room space with a naked 12 year old girl has questionable motives to say the very least.

Cazpar · 24/03/2024 21:27

So we're calling TW paedophiles then?

Redshoeblueshoe · 24/03/2024 21:28

No we are calling men invading women's spaces DAF

Men who want to undress beside 12 year old girls are wrong uns, regardless of how they identify. The end.

Only if they insist on using the same changing rooms as teenage girls.

Queenmaker · 24/03/2024 21:35

She claims she spoke to the police who said the law is on the side of the man - I am assuming because it's a private establishment and they accept self-ID. This is what happens; women and girls have no recourse when men invade our spaces. It's important for women to fight back and make sure it's known that we won't accept boundaries being violated.

We're rightly questioning why this adult man feels it's fine for him to intrude in a female space where a 12 year old girl is undressed and in a towel.

GailBlancheViola · 24/03/2024 21:37

No, we are stating the bleeding obvious that any adult male who wants to be in the presence of a naked 12 year old girl has questionable motives.

And before you bleat the TWAW mantra, they are male it is the defining criteria for being a TW.

AccidentallyWesAnderson · 24/03/2024 21:37

Prioritising the feelings of a man over the feelings and safety of twelve year old girls now, and still people try and defend it.

Well done world.

But it was fine for the woman concerned to take photos in the changing room where a 12-year old girl is undressed and in a towel?

MadamVastra · 24/03/2024 21:38

This is it isn't it? Why is this ok? There will be mums with daughters younger than 12 as well won't there? Getting changed? Showering?

Why would I "bleat" TWAW? They're not women.

She was talking a photo of the clothed interloper as well you know.

And the clothed interloper was allowed to be there, as well you know. We might not agree with it, but those are the facts.

What do you call a grown man who wants to be naked with naked 12 year old girls?

ATerrorofLeftovers · 24/03/2024 21:39

What do you call a grown man who wants to be naked with naked 12 year old girls?

Are you saying this is the motive for trans women using the women's changing rooms?
