the comments on the fox news article are funny. people talking about cancelling their PF memberships.

It's a weird reason to cancel, Cancel because it's a shitty gym, not because they technically enforced their judgment free zone policy lol

Was it a trans woman? The article says trans man. Now transphobes can definitely be imprecise in their language but if it was a trans man shaving in a women's locker room then they're in the 'correct' locker room by transphobe standards because they are a 'biological female'.

Then that stands as proof of what has been repeatedly said about their "concerns." That being that while they claim to want to protect women from 'biological men' invading female spaces, they'll just as happily turn on trans men because it was always rooted in hate.

At that it's also completely possible that the woman was an absolute moron and doesn't know anything about applicable terminology.

According to the Daily Mail article on this, the woman is a QAnon nut. Not surprising.

She told the trans woman that she belonged in the men's locker room. And any male transphobes in there would no doubt tell her she belonged in the women's, or they'd skip that conversation and assault her.

The fact of the matter is, transphobes don't believe trans people have a place in any locker room... they just want to erase them from society entirely.

Or to just get their own locker rooms far, far away.

It'll stay this way until we start having same sex bathrooms and showers and stuff.

I'm sorry, but regardless of your personal issues regarding people using the facilities, taking a picture in the locker room and posting it online is well beyond your fucking transphobia. Dumbass bitch.

Ah yes, the ever-present Enlightened Centrist take.

Quite aside from the more philosophical considerations of separate but equal never being equal and trans people not being a monolithic group you can all shove in one bathroom, who's going to pay for all the extra bathrooms? Public buildings have typically been designed with men's, women's, and disabled bathrooms. The remodelling needed to accommodate fourth, trans-only bathrooms would be non-trivial to say the least. Asking today's brick-and-mortar businesses to foot that bill while they're already struggling to keep their heads above water make this one dead on arrival for sure.

Woman was right about the wrong thing. She mentioned a young girl being in a locker room with other adults, I'm of the opinion that no young boys or girls should be let into locker rooms or restrooms with any adult that is not a stated guardian or parent. I remember being 12 or younger going to a rec center when young & it's gross seeing 60+ year old random old men letting their junk hang out around children they don't know.

Transphobes like her have a history of fabricating stuff exactly like that, however, so I wouldnt believe it anyway without some kind of corroboration. I highly doubt there was some young child wrapped only in a towel cowering in fear nearby. It should be dismissed out of hand.

While this is great I'm not going to go as far as to think PF took a stance on transphobia. They simply enforced the no filming or photos in the locker room policy that all gyms are very strict on. It just happened to coincide with an incident that involved transphobia.
