Has anyone heard the story of the Planet Fitness Gym In Michigan?
I can't get my phone to copy a link right now but it's easy to find.
It seems a female member complained about a transgender person who identified themselves as female using the women's changing/restrooms.
The woman was told not to talk about it with other gym members.
Apparently she continued to voice her concerns and her membership was revoked.
To me the whole think seems ridiculous on all sides.
I can see the woman's POV not wanting to use the changing room with a male, even though they want to be female.
But, unless she felt threatened or scared by the person (which the article does not say she did) what was the huge deal.
But again, although the transgender person may feel like, look like and act like a woman, they technically are not and should probably not be using a public women's changing room.
I just don't see a good solution here.
Thoughts?
