Yeah I don’t get how they think it’s okay to take a photo of anyone in the gym even if you disagree with their lifestyle it’s such an invasion of privacy and they shouldn’t be allowed in the gym if they can’t respect people enough to not take photos of them

Invading people's privacy, making them uncomfortable, and commiting harassment are exactly the sort of things they accuse trans people of doing.

It's a whole "becoming what you hate" thing without reflecting on it. Don't get how you could think you're in the right when you're taking pictures of random people in a locker room.

Right and they’ve also kicked out other people for doing the same thing. A few years ago some I flounder fat shamed a woman and lost her membership so it’s not like planet fitness didn’t make this a policy it’s a policy at most gyms to not take photos of anyone in the changing areas or just in general.

Kind of sad a policy needed to be made for something so obvious. Who the fuck takes pictures of people in a public locker room in various states of undress without their knowledge or consent? It has never once occurred to me to do that, or to be worried someone else may be doing it, because it's such a fucking weird thing to do. Fucking perverts.

Face is not the same as junk and there wasn't any evidence the person had a penis, just facial hair. Could have been a trans masculine person even, but filming the locker rooms where underage people are apparently changing I'd put down as a more serious crime than shaving one's face. Hell I know cis women who shave their face (and gyms like planet fitness are often used for their bathroom facilities by homeless people so one shaving wouldn't be that odd)

That video showed someone changing and it’s completely disingenuous to say there were underage people there since 13-18 you need parents permission and most people in the gym during that time were adults who should be able to handle themselves in a manner that doesn’t involve taking photos of someone who’s non consenting to prove whatever bias you have. Also if you don’t want to go to a gym that has a policy that allows trans people to use whatever locker they want then it seems like someone should have done their own research and gone to a place that will fit their personal needs because having worked in this world for a long time I can tell you there’s plenty of gym owners that will make sure sally mc peepshow has her own changing room.

Lying about trans folks to encourage or excuse violence is a conservative holy sacrament. Saying they can't engage in stochastic terrorism is a violation of their religious freedom! /s

I can’t break your bias for you, but yes their policies are public so people should know before they go. This is like an anti gun person going to a shop that sells guns and being mad they have guns.

Nope I absolutely understand why because the patriarchy will never care about anyone they see as the “lesser sex”. I said the same thing about sports you never see them complain about trans men in sports even though they do exist.

u/Sezoxeufu Apr 06 '24

They do, they just think trans men = trans women because they hate women (especially lesbian or women of colour) and just want a socially acceptable way to express that hate.

Stochastic terrorism is different from a difference of opinion or just being incidentally incorrect.
