Background:
A few weeks ago, an actual woman had her gym membership terminated because she took a picture of a mentally ill man invading the womens locker room so he could shave the stubble off of his face.
At the time, Planet Fitness went along with the wild assumption that this man was in fact somehow actually a woman, based on nothing more than the words coming out of his mouth.
More recently, a different man (who also claims to be a woman) was minding his own business by invading the womens locker room at Planet Fitness, but instead of appeasing the mans delusions and expecting all the actual woman just deal with it, Planet Fitness unilaterally and arbitrarily decided that this man wasn’t actually a woman, and had him arrested on felony charges!
We need to pressure Planet Fitness to clarify their policy. Either they allow users to use the locker room that corresponds to their self-diagnosed gender, or they don’t.
How can trans people have any confidence they wont be arrested if they are simply using the locker room of their choice?

I don't know if the second guy is the same one in the story I heard, however the second guy "Court documents state Miller exposed himself in the women’s bathroom at Planet Fitness in the presence of a 17-year-old girl for the purpose of “arousing and gratifying the defendant’s sexual desire.” So different than the first guy. First guy was shaving and oogling women, second guy was exposing himself and fulfilling a sexual fantasy of his. Not saying either is good, however asking them to clarify based on these two extremes is fruitless.
Riley Gaines says Mr Thomas was prancing around the locker room butt ass naked…
I mean, theres probably lots of naked women in a locker room, its just that some of them have penises…
What next? Are they gonna say some women can get naked in front of everyone and some women cant?
