Planet Fitness Transgender

[French G.]

Society needs a Frank Perdue test for this crap. "Parts is parts." You go to the correct part-indicated facilities.

DSM-IV mentally ill or bat**it crazy mentally ill?

And remember that we are dealing with a doubly-protected class - sex and disbility.

How are transgenders a protected class? It's illegal to discriminate on the basis of gender. By definition, a "transgender" is someone of one gender who is pretending to be of the other gender. I don't see any protected class there.

Unisex restroom/changing room.  Private floor to ceiling stalls.  Eliminate urinals.  Sinks can be shared space. 
Having lockable private shower rooms would eliminate the issue there, too.
It's not a hard problem to solve, if the business wants to invest in solving it.

My real issue is when people are told they will accommodate group x, y, or z or face court or government sanctions.  Freedom of association should be one of the most basic tenants of freedom.

this.

There are enough privacy and harassment issues with public facilities that such efforts could/would solve many problems, without forcing anyone to cater to a specific minority feelz.

IMHO, dealing with this kind of stuff, it's better to just make it a non issue overall.

I wish I could find the cartoon of the person who is talking to their counselor saying things like "I identify as a cisnormative male when i first wake up the morning, but by the time I go to work I identify as a transexual polyamourous lesbian, then...on and on and on... finally in the the second to last panel the the counselor says "Pull down your pants".  The last panel shows a "rear view" of said confused individual with her pants down and the counselor stating "You are a Woman."

IMO, as long as I can't self identify as a half-black, half Cherokee, you are what your DNA says you are.  Don't like it, tough; that's life.

Then they are either DSM-IV crazy or considered by society to be crazy.  Either of which is a disability.  Which means you cannot discriminate against them.

But more importanyly, why are there not more hawt babes who feel trapped in that body and yearn to have hair on their chest and to fart and to scratch their neuticles?

Given the number of XY wanting to be XX, as opposed to vice versa, I am becoming more convinced that it is merely a case of chromosomal envy.

stay safe.

Anytime Fitness has unisex bathrooms without showers.  I generally use one when changing into workout clothes so as not to tie up a shower bathroom when I don't need the shower.  Not like a whole lot of people are showing up there at 10PM with kids that still need potty time help.
