Planet Fitness lets men who "identify" as women use the women's locker room..

Pekkerwood · Mar 9, 2015

"Having a dick makes you a man". Nope, makes you male. A lot more goes into being a man.

This is an issue that is going to be dealt with more and more in the USA. If you look in Western Europe you can see where it is headed. We are about 20 years behind that area in some good and not so good ways from my personal observation when it comes to restrooms, etc. I look to them as sort of my "crystal ball" for what is headed my way. To be fair it does not penetrate my area first, it goes to Cali first, and takes a while to work its way down to us pekkerwoods.

I don't think we'll be the united states of Arabia any time soon...that is, unless liberals control both houses and the white house for the next couple decades.

A transgendered person is not gonna be walking around with dick out! They're in the locker room of woman to be recognized as such. So I doubt a trans person will reveal their dick to other woman when they're trying to identify as one.

Good point.

I think you're missing the point bro

pic related. I keep this in my 'social justice' folder.

this issue in the OP presents a really interesting conundrum.. it pits feminists against the lgbt-qiarstlmnop (they keep adding onto it)

And it gets better. Lol. Crazy.

that's actually not a good point at all.. it misses the point of the issue entirely..

I try not to read too many of his posts. But nevertheless, there is no point to this issue. There are few if any definitive laws in place, there are varying opinions, there are possibly human rights issues, what's the point? Is it even an issue at all. One article from Planet Fatness does not an issue make.

This is worse than FOX and Friends or the even worse Five at Five or whatever. A bunch of complete fucking morons trying to be articulate on complex issues.

I'd like to see "radical islam" launch a missle right into their build and level it.

Then you could have FUX'd and Friends.

Other than washing my hands after a workout, I tend to avoid locker rooms in general. I have learned through the years, there can be some really weird people hanging out in there from across the board. No pun intended.

And Pekkerwood, gotta say I enjoyed the way you used the word "penetrate"

Well done.

Hits the NE states too out here. Vermont, Mass, Maine. And I would say 20 years. Maybe 5 or 10 on matters regarding socialism - because the have a far more socialized democracy than we do. We have a constitutional republic (or we did). I have no idea WTF we have now.

they don't have missiles, they have rockets.. you know, like those things that you see a father shoot off with his son at the local park.

no payload...only effective if they literally hit you.

but I digress.. this is really a woman's issue, not to sure why men are chiming in on it (with the exception of under-aged females).

women need to decide if they want random men to be allowed to watch them undress and shower.. that's really what this boils down to.

You're right. I'll leave it to you women. Was starting to creep me out anyway.

FLASHJORDAN · Mar 10, 2015

Shoot, I wasn't even allowed into PF when they first opened in my area. I walked in, with a gallon of water in my hand, gym bag in others. The guy at the desk told me I couldn't have my gallon of water in there. I thought he was kidding...he wasn't. then he asked be to leave. What a joke.

Because they don't want to be considered different. That's why they didn't want same-sex unions (it had to be called marriage) and that's why they don't want special facilities. They want to be "out" without being "outside". People aren't fully ready for it.

anybody see the south park episode covering this? wit the bathrooms...they made huge valid points, which they always do.

Wrong. It's also a man's issue, or at least a parent's issue--because like I said earlier, I do not want my daughter in a locker room with other men.

Sounds like some women don't want "MEN" in their locker rooms. Sounds like some parent's don't want "MEN" in their daughter's locker rooms. Sounds like common sense to me.

that's why I said 'with the exception of under-aged females'

I personally couldn't agree more

Well Planet Fitness is a judgement free zone but also state “Planet Fitness is committed to creating a non-intimidating, welcoming environment for our members”

Can't have it both ways...I hope it turns on them.
Social media is a powerful thing and there are tons of other gyms to work out at other than PF that these women can go to in protest.
