Why don't you read what actually happened before commenting.

Huh?! wrote:This is getting way off track. It has nothing to do with someone harming someone in the locker room. I started this thread because I thought it ridiculous that Planet Fitness allows a man in a woman's locker room just because he "identifies" with being a woman. Whether our culture is strange or paranoid about being nude is really not relevant. I personally don't care who sees me nude but that is not the way society is. Most women would rather not have a male in their locker room. The stupid church and prude comments are being made by either people that annoy comprehend what is happening or people that believe everyone should hold their opinions. That is intolerance no matter how you look at it.
Agreed.
Having worked as a part time trainer (in addition to my corporate job) at different gyms over the years, I have concluded that at least 80% of them are "managed" (if you could call it that) by teenagers and/or lifelong gym rats who have never had a real job. Customer service and communication are practically nonexistent, especially at big chains like Planet Fitness where the pay scale is extremely low.
I find it amusing that so many people have ripped this woman apart for being bigoted and intolerant based solely on what the Planet Fitness PR department says in its "statement." The teenyboppers in charge at that particularly location probably were the ones who mishandled the situation, pi$$ed off the woman who complained, and then tried to vilify HER when she embarrassed them by telling her friends at the gym what happened. If Planet Fitness axed everyone in their clubs who ever gossiped, they'd have no membership.
