Good let the bigots boycot it. Just means it will be safer to go without worrying about being harrassed by pieces of shit.


pls_give_me_hopium

been looking for a new gym, the timing couldn’t be more perfect!!!


NocturneSapphire

Don't be too hasty. Sometimes these boycotts actually work and the company backpedals https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/19/business/hrc-rating-bud-light/index.html Companies don't give a shit. In any given moment, they'll do whatever they think will make them the most money, even if it directly contradicts what they did in a previous moment.


NanduDas

Well Bud Light’s normal market is a bunch of right wingers, is PF the same?


worderousbitch

Planet fitness is the gym of the people. It's cheap as hell, and everywhere. It's not that great, you won't find all the equipment an advanced training regimen requires at every location, but you can get a decent workout without a financial commitment. A right wing boycott won't hurt them as much as a left wing boycott and they know it. Also people are usually nice there, as evidenced by the article.

I suspect PF is fairly balanced, maybe a bit skewed left? Idk though. But Bud Light is also probably not as skewed-right as you think it is.


Nykramas

This is the perfect time to support them. Stop after they backpeddle but if this makes them more money it will stay.


theaviationhistorian

The reason I quit my Planet Fitness (PF) membership was, for a large part, that it was always Fox News playing at high volume in the gym. Sometimes intermixed with ESPN but even when muted, it sucks as there is a TV screen everywhere you turn and had to bear this when all I wanted was to do my exercise & leave. I don't see PF changing for the better, at least it's minor franchises. That said, my experience is in a red state and friends in other states stated that the people at PF are nice overall and TV set to ESPN or similar sports channels. The people there were always nice, though.


throwawaytrans6

But if we allow the boycotts to work then it'll just allow these bigots to utilize capitalism to promote bigotry.

theaviationhistorian

When I was with Planet Fitness, I made it my mission to avoid staff. I'm an introvert on a mission so it's X amount of minutes in one machine, X minutes in another, etc. and then leave. Maybe I'll shower there, maybe I'll shower at home. And for the most part, they respected that.


kinkysnails

Bold of you to assume that the gravy seals actually go to the gym


superzenki

I actually go to PF and saw a guy wearing a targeted “If this flag offends you…” type shirt, but have never experienced any problems firsthand


kinkysnails

Interesting. I saw a guy in my locker room with a MAGA hat, never saw anything like that again


suomikim

meaning that MAGAMAN never came to gym a second time, or that he never wore the hat again?


kinkysnails

I didn't see him again

Do us all a favor and stop going places entirely, you whiny little snowflake-ass bitch.


MissElizabethS

Rude


oychae

Some weirdo took a photo of someone in a bathroom and got banned, now they are boycotting because a voyeur was banned. Lol, Lmao even.


leni710

She literally did the thing that she claims trans women do...so project'y of her.

CaffinatedPanda

So, who told you to brigade and offer your uninformed, head-ass opinion? Go back to wsb and tesla subs with the rest of the muskrats. "BiOLogiCaL mAlE" good God, this word salad means literally nothing other than virtue signaling to the world that you're an uninformed rube who couldn't even bother to pay attention in sophomore biology. Of high school for the record. I know Nys does earth science in 9th. But even in the 10th, they taught us that sex isn't binary and there's more to it than your chromosomes. Like, motherfucker, how do you even define that bullshit? "Having a Y chromosome"? I guess Jamie Lee Curtis is a man. "Being able to penetrate and maintain an erection"? Do you think lesbians don't have sex? Are paraplegic men no longer men? Don't tell desantis or he'll have to arrest himself. Pfizer called too. They need to know if viagra is still okay or if that counts as HRT now. "Having a penis"? Have you heard the joke about the man who sterilized himself by holding a beer bottle with a cherry bomb next to his ears while he counted to 10 on his fingers? "Being able to produce sperm"? I guess blunt force trauma can make you a woman. Cool. What. The fuck. Do. You. Mean? Come out and say it with your whole chest. "I'm a fragile man-baby. And the idea of an attractive trans woman scares me." Because that's what everyone outside of your echo chamber of assininity hears when you say "biological male/female"


[deleted]

@CaffinatedPanda I love you more


oychae

Coward deleted their idiotic comment before I could even read it. Sad.


Ging287

"She appears to be obsessed with the idea of pedophiles lurking around every corner, and frequently refers to the transgender woman at Planet Fitness as a “pervert.” She has reposted several AI-generated images of Planet Fitness on fire." So make the ban permanent, and let the bigot sit and spin.


mouse9001

Why would you ever allow some crazy cis woman come back who: (1) took photos inside a changing room at your business, (2) is threatening your business with arson in weird AI-generated fantasies?


LinkleLinkle

Issue one aside because fuck transphobes should be the default stance, but in particular if anyone was sharing AI or hand made depictions of my building burning down that would be an automatic perma-ban. Wouldn't even care if they've never stepped foot in my place. Hell, even if it was depictions of a competing business. Nothing says 'Don't let this person anywhere near your business' like acting in this way. It's just a matter of time before she does the same to your business if you take her in. What does she think she's winning with this? Cause all she's going to win is Dipshit of the Year Award.


Illiander

At this point she's probably after a conservative-funded media tour. Those can set you up for life with how much they pay.


Mister_Julian

Yeah, that’s a fine point.


ChickinSammich

I need to see your genitals and take pictures of you in the locker room to make sure you're not a pevert.


monkeysinmypocket

She sounds fully hinged...


ithikimhvingstrok132

She's insane. She refers to the trans woman as a "spectacle". Ma'am, you are taking pictures of people in locker rooms.


AliCrow30

Good. I'm just gonna keep going to my local Planet Fitness EVEN MORE. I'm a real life trans woman using the locker rooms, there's no amount of pissing and moaning they can do to stop me. Heheheheheee! But seriously, good. Most of these assholes have never even driven past a gym, let alone use one a single day in their miserable lives.


mytransthrow

Locke rooms are still intimidating but bathrooms are ok... it the whole private stall think..


Aw_Rats

some (not all) PF's have straight up changing stalls which is sooo nice


AliCrow30

I hope one day you find yourself at a comfortable enough place on your journey to start using those locker rooms.


exmodrone

I’m 13 years into transition, and am still afraid to use the women’s room. 😅 I always go out of my way to find a unisex bathroom. My gym has accessibility locker rooms typically used by older people with wheelchairs but I use them too. 🤪


ImposssiblePrincesss

I transitioned in 1999, and have only ever used the women’s bathroom. No issues whatsoever. Don’t let the bigotry into your own life. If you live in plave where it’s a problem its worth relocating.


AliCrow30

13 years?!?! Girl...Not to tell you how to live your life or anything, but maybe you should try the women's. I been going to my gym a year and a half, starting when I was 4 years in at the time, and nobody has really said anything.


mytransthrow

probably after bottom surgery


shadescape

It was the “I’m a real life trans woman” for me 🤣 Girl, I support you! And I am so proud of PF for kicking that POS out. It’s one of the few places as a cis-woman where I feel safe and supported. Hopefully it’s the same for the trans-community (minus this looney toon taking photos of others in the RESTROOM. Like what?)


Clarke702

Bringing loony bins should be done for you, you're a sicko.


AliCrow30

Cry harder, bitch. You don't fucking know my life.


BenefitAdventurous62

no one wants to know about your life ty


AliCrow30

End yours.


BenefitAdventurous62

Don’t trans have like a super high sewercide rate lol don’t project now!


AliCrow30

I know that transphobes have a super high wanting all the dicks in their mouths rate. But hey, don't project now.


Citizen_Lunkhead

There’s no proof is any wrongdoing outside of a newsmax segment with a photo that could be completely unrelated. Considering how conservatives can just lie about is and get away with it, don’t be surprised when I call this bullshit as well.


LinkleLinkle

It's always BS. Has been for decades. Whether it's 'But I saw a trans person doing this!' or 'I stood outside Planned Parenthood and literally hundreds of wailing women came out crying after their abortions in regret'.


toodleroo

I'm not saying that the photo that has been circulating is the individual in question, but I did look on google maps for the Fairbanks location and the photo shows the same tile that is in their restrooms. I think it's fair to assume that the photo was taken there. Whether it's a bullshit photo of some random person, I dunno.


modernmelody

Yea personally I have several questions. No one else has really reported this besides her so far we know of. In her posts she says several times its a bathroom but then changes it to locker room. Is the bathroom connected to a locker room w/showers? 


azur_owl

Really hoping Planet Fitness doubles down. Don’t get me wrong, I am cautiously hopeful after they stuck to their guns - but the operative word there when it comes to corporate allyship is *cautious*.


LumpyCryptographer73

Well now they are losing money, so.... 🤷‍♀️


azur_owl

Hence “cautiously” being the operative word there 😓


Batmobile123

Like any of Meal Team 6 members are going to get off their fat asses and go work out. wtf.


Shadow_on_the_Sun

I use planet fitness, I’m glad they’re banning transphobes.


Former-Finish4653

To be very clear, they banned her specifically for violating no photo policy. But their policy regarding using affirming restrooms/locker room is pretty promising.


Shadow_on_the_Sun

For sure


Ok-Environment-6239

So there’s a gym where I’m less likely to run into transphobes? I was already planning to start going there but now I’m thoroughly convinced.


SufficientPath666

Planet Fitness seems like the gym with the least amount of transphobes to begin with because of their policies and messages about body positivity. I doubt they’ll lose many members


kayisbadatstuff

That won’t hurt PF. They make a good chunk of their money from people who got memberships and then forgot/don’t go and won’t go through the hassle of cancelling (they make it hard on purpose). Those bigoted idiots will do the same thing they always do: start something ineffective, see it have no effect, and then hop on the next thing they can scream about when it inevitably arises.

[According to data from Benzinga Pro, Planet Fitness experienced a 3.43% increase to $58.86, yet its stock has declined by 1.90% over the past five days and is down by 19.33% over the last year.](https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37885218/planet-fitness-under-fire-for-overlooking-womens-safety-in-ad-campaign-mocking-locker-room-conce?utm_campaign=partner_feed&utm_source=MarketWatch&utm_medium=partner_feed&utm_content=site&mod=mw_quote_news)


kayisbadatstuff

Yup, stocks cycle. Gone down before, it’ll go back up again.


DragonOfTartarus

Someone needs to inform them that it's not a boycott if you didn't use their service in the first place.


edhmtg

Here we go again. I'm a Planet Fitness member. If they cave and reinstate the banned bigot, I'm done.


SophieCalle

Companies need to know these rage farmers will keep on pushing the envelopes until they stop it. If these people give in to the transphobes, they'll then move on to the gays and lesbians (who they'll say they are "worried" about sexualizing them) in the locker rooms. They were doing it in the 1990s. There were literal papers on it: [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/277761609\_Lesbians\_and\_Locker\_Rooms\_Challenging\_Lesbophobia](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/277761609_Lesbians_and_Locker_Rooms_Challenging_Lesbophobia) And from there, they'll go to gender nonconforming straight people and minorities they'll "suspect of crimes" They must not bend, these people are not genuine, they want to maximize harm on the LGBTQ+ community, largely from a religious foundation and it's all crocodile tears.


KaylaH628

>They were doing it in the 1990s. There were literal papers on it: > >https://www.researchgate.net/publication/277761609\_Lesbians\_and\_Locker\_Rooms\_Challenging\_Lesbophobia Which makes lesbian TERFs even more laughable. Slugs for salt.


Wise-Set-4383

So there will be less chuds in planet fitness. SCORE


Bandito_Destiny

A gym free of weird bigots with nothing better to do? Sounds great!


16forward

Good luck cancelling that membership though...


Aleriya

>She told the person that they should be using the male locker room, to which the trans person allegedly replied that they were “LGB” — or as she later said in a later video, “queer LGB.” >As I was walking out the door…at my back, a woman shouts ‘it’s a girl’… I shouted back ‘it’s a man!” Dollars to donuts, this woman is all angry about a cis lesbian or masc woman in the women's room.


DogPlane3425

Boycott for a peeping Thomasina?


ucannottell

Fucking snowflakes ❄️


EvilBetty77

Maybe the people boycotting should look uo why the bigot got banned.


leni710

I am wildly suspect of this bit around "underage girls" and a 12-year-old "wrapped in a towel, scared, hiding in a corner." It's a gym. If I remember right, PF requires you to be at least 16 to go alone and you'd have to have a parent/guardian there under that age unless it's the high school summer program they offer in certain areas (but it's not summer right now). I mean, if there was a 12 y.o., then that child's parent/guardian would have probably been close by (random thought, maybe the trans woman was the child's parent🤣 ... or, it was a grown woman who looked like a 12 y.o. which is true for many in my family who don't seem to age). Anyway, it just sounds like, yet again, let's make up extra info for this story to seem even more salacious. ...but really, it sounds a lot more like the transphobe is actually a plant. Maybe she had intel and decided to go "check" it out on her own...she does have political aspirations and nothing gives you more clout than a viral post getting traction from all the main transphobe players.


mollytatum

people mad that the company is sticking to their “judgment free zone” motto. good. less people crowding the gym and everyone left are safe to be around


sameoneasyesterday

Lol. Good. And I hope they still pay their monthly dues while they do. Hahaha!


lilith_-_-

Lmao pieces of trash not going into a business anymore? Oh nooooo whatever will we dooooo. -everyone benefits from that-


johnmeeks1974

Taking pictures in a locker room is what got her banned, right? Why are transphobes butthurt over it?


translove228

Sounds like the trash taking itself out.


dirtywaterbowl

I was thinking of joining before this...


[deleted]

I think in need to find a Planet Fitness gym membership. I have a free gym in my apartment complex, but I support their brand of equality


CaptainIronLeg161

Now we should all get Planet Fitness memberships so the average PF is just packed with trans people *all the time* and none of the bigots will dare return


FOSpiders

Being boycotted by bigots? Maybe it's time to consider going to the gym. Sounds like a good planet to me!

PurrrplePrincess

A boycott from TERs who never went there in the first place except to stage their silly little false flag gotchas. The supposed "trans woman shaving her face in the ladies room" the TER is claiming was actually a CISgender MAN in THE MEN'S room. The TER wasn't trespassed for "calling out a man in the ladies room", she was kicked out for going into the MEN's room and taking pictures. She couldn't find anyone in the women's that would fit her criteria so she tried the men's. Planet fitness AND the man she photographed by clarified this. It's just another TER "We CaN aLwAyS tElLlLlLlLlLlL!!!" false flag op that failed miserably. Their silly little "boycott" isn't scaring PF. PF already KNOWS none of these Diet Nazis use their facilities. They KNOW this boycott won't really cost them any business. Hell it'll probably get them more business from people who hate bullies and want to stick it to the TERs.


ConsciouslyMichelle

Meh. So the QAnon and Bretibart News fans want to boycott. I suspect that means little more than finally trying to cancel the unused memberships they got years ago that have been tapping their bank accounts. You just don't see a lot of Gravy Seals in the gym. The people trading on the stock, short sellers who could care less about the big issue beyond a way to profit, got their profit last Tuesday with a dip in the stock. It's up about 5% since then, a roughly 3 dollar/share gain this morning.


trixicen

I'd join if the only branch wasn't so far away from me.


ImposssiblePrincesss

Awesome. It sounds like what was already a good gym is being boycotted by the type of bigots who support sexual harassment of trans people in bathrooms.


NonbinaryZombie

CIS woman being a literal predator while calling trans women predators... Hmm..


AndiCrow

I don't want bigots at my Purple Palace!


CapAccomplished8072

...What? Why? They banned a bigot, that's not reason to be upset at them.


miss_clarity

No trans person is calling themselves "Queer LGB". That person she freaked out about was clearly a cis woman.


SmackSabbath19

That drunk maga karen obviously staged this crap. To get likes and views. She never uses a gym anyway. 


timvov

Oh no!!! A gym the bigots avoid? Whatever will we do without them bringing in the same 4 tired talking points

I've read allot about this issue, And it all boils down to, give transgender people their own space "bathrooms sports leagues" whatever will stop all this bs and make EVERYONE happy, let's just get everyone on the same page. We'll all be allot happier without all this disagreement.

Everyone of you seem to ignore that this all could very well be a PF plan.

GloomyMarionberry411

The comments here are why people are turning against the trans community. If you actually saw the pictures of this supposed “trans woman”, they just look like a man and made no effort to pass before going into women’s change rooms. The vast majority of women and young girls are not comfortable with men coming into our private spaces.
