Planet Fitness stock plummets after woman’s membership canceled for taking picture of ‘man in women’s locker room shaving’​

Planet Fitness saw the valuation of the company’s stock drop this week after an Alaska gym canceled a woman’s membership when she photographed a male using the women’s locker room.

The company’s stock price, which traded at a monthly high of $66.92 on March 7, plummeted to a low of $56.46 on Tuesday.

The price drop followed an incident in which Patricia Silva encountered a “man in women’s locker room shaving.”

She also claimed in a video posted to Facebook that there was “a little girl sitting in the corner. She could have been [12 years old] … in a towel kind of freaked out.”

“I was offended, I took a picture of him,” she said in the clip.

Silva added that the man had been shaving his face and told her he was “queer.”

After she relayed her complaints to management, Silva said, her membership was revoked for violating the rules against photographing other gym users.

The gym’s policy allows members to use the locker room that corresponds with their gender identity.


The company’s stock price, which traded at a monthly high of $66.92 on March 7, plummeted to a low of $56.46 on Tuesday.

“Our gender identity non-discrimination policy states that members and guests may use the facilities that best align with the sincere, self-reported gender identity,” the gym said in a statement.

However, the policy is not a blanket invitation for people to enter the locker room of their choosing by asserting a gender that is not their own.

“If it is confirmed that a member is acting in bad faith and improperly asserts a gender identity, they may be asked to leave and their membership may be terminated,” the company said.

In 2015, Michigan woman Yvette Cormier sued Planet Fitness after she claimed her membership was wrongly terminated after she complained about a transgender woman.

A Michigan judge eventually ruled against Cormier.

If I ever see this at the gym I'm pepper spraying him and telling staff he was masturbating and calling the police. Prove he wasn't, you can't. This is what you should do any time you see a man in a women's bathroom or locker room.

Troons are cringe perverts but this right here is peak TERFposting.

"I'll go ahead and commit multiple felonies including aggravated assualt, surely when the cops show up they will applaud me for my bravery because I'm on the right side of history and real life is just like my Twitters."

Let me know how that works out for you.

I literally did what I said in my last post at Walgreens last year lmao. Unless the troon is a complete fucking retard he's going to leave right away, and the police won't actually be involved. Go dilate.

So who was the 12 year old girl?

Another 40 year old dude.

you maced a random troon in the face at a pharmacy?

Have never used a gym, except on base. Work out at home, run/jog/walk outside, save your money.

Yes and I had never used my pepper spray before, so I pretty much missed. I ran out screaming that a man just attacked me in the women's room. The troon left the store right away, and after he was completely gone I also left. But had he not left, yes, I would've stuck with my story.

Women need to protect each other and especially protect children by keeping pervs out of our private spaces. If you’re an adult male in the girl’s bathroom or locker room, you are a sexual predator and yes I will spray you and then I will unflinchingly lie to the police to ruin your life. Sexual predators deserve even worse than that, actually. Stay out of our safe spaces and keep away from our children, simple as.

I realize this is going to sound unhinged to some people but I don't care. It used to be considered a completely reasonable thing to do, to scream and throw a fit when a man was in women's private spaces and do whatever necessary to get them out! Because everybody knew there's only one reason for a man to be in those spaces. To prey on women and children.

I dislike troons as much as the next person but you're a piece of shit and a pussy. Today a troon, tomorrow a man giving you the wrong 'look'.

OT: I'm not defending there troon here....but...is shaving in the womens locker room illegal? I don't think it is and if PF allow troons in the womens locker room than him being there isn't illegal.
Some clout-chasing slag taking pictures in the locker room? Illegal.

There's nothing pussy about keeping troons out of our spaces.
>B-b-but what's he's doing isn't illegal
Who's the pussy now?

And fuck off with your slippery slope. A man giving me the 'wrong look' is not a sexual predator. An adult male in a space where women and girls use the bathroom and take showers, is. To argue otherwise is 100% defending troons, idiot.

Some of you motherfuckers need a hard smack on the jaw, I swear. That revolting faggot does not belong in women's locker room no matter what Planet Shitness says. If this happened at my local joint the chicks would kick up a fuss and every male present at the gym would barge in and drag this freak out legs first and beat the everloving shit out of him, assuming security wouldn't throw him out beforehand.

i really don't see any situation where a man would ever have a reason to hang out in a womens locker room
except maybe if the mens room is closed for maintenance i guess?

Nah fuck that.

I don't like them in my bathroom (the mens). The women can have them.

This is just what you're meant to do. Walk into the bathroom and there's a dude in there? You fucking scream and get them out.

It's amazing how brain-rotted people have become. Like???

 

[Kiwi Lime Pie]

Taking pictures of people in changing rooms and bathrooms is a big legal no no in most places and can get you arrested very easily,

This. As much as I understand the woman in the OP using her phone to get evidence of the creepiness, taking pictures or videos in a locker room is a form of illegal invasion of privacy. She needs to thank Godbear she's not facing charges herself over that.

I don't think it is and if PF allow troons in the womens locker room than him being there isn't illegal.

From what I recall in other A&N or Happenings posts, PF has no issues with transgendered people using their facilities and locker rooms matching their gender of desire. And we all know how effective troon armor is in situations such as this.

but I hate these headlines where they go "STOCK PLUMMETS!" and it's like $10-$20 dollars and if you look at the stock market right now you'll see it's already climbing back up. It's really pathetic yellow journoscumism.

This is yet another example of an article using a clickbaity headline to pump up an article with more sensationalism and hype than meaningful details. PF booting one member isn't going to impact their stock price. A mass boycott, on the other hand, would.

Wrong lawsuit and bad lawyer.
The proper lawsuit is discrimination against women under the civil rights act.

I'm not sure how such a suit would have been decided in Michigan in 2015. Today, however, it would likely be dismissed because Governor Whitmer saw to it that gender identity was added as a protected class under the state-level civil rights law.

Work out at home, run/jog/walk outside, save your money.

Too many people today can't do anything on their own and would rather pay a hefty price for what they want. Look at how many people eat via delivery services or meal kits that cost more than preparing grocery store-bought items.

Do you honestly think this mutant would ever dare enter the male locker room?

1st parargraph "look at this slippery slope"
2nd paragraph "there's no slippery slope".

I agree with you, there shouldn't be men in a womens locker room, ever, but this isn't the way to deal with it.

In this situation, lying and breaking the law (taking pics in a locker room) is not the way to deal with it. I absolutely hate anyone who uses a phone in a locker room, because if there was a slippery slope, pedoscum would be abusing that freedom to perv on kids.

i really don't see any situation where a man would ever have a reason to hang out in a womens locker room

I agree 100%, but we lost that fight. It's hard to admit, even harder to agree with, but we need to draw new battle-lines, refocus our energy and move on from lost campaigns.

From what I recall in other A&N or Happenings posts, PF has no issues with transgendered people using their facilities and locker rooms matching their gender of desire. And we all know how effective troon armor is in situations such as this.

See, as a motherfucker with principles, as much as I dislike and disagree with the troon in there, this bitch taking pictures and then making a fuss to media/internet just looks like clout chasing.

No phones in locker rooms. There's no excuse.

I never argued in favor of taking pictures of people in the locker room. I was pointing out how dumb it is to call me a pussy then proceed to cry about what's heckin' legal.

I don't think it's particularly effective to do things like this woman did, taking the pictures of him. It's fine for some rage-bait online I guess, get more people angry about troons? But ultimately it's probably not going to change anything. That's why I offered a practical solution that works. And because it works, it was the standard for as long as gender-segregated spaces existed. It's only in the past decade that people have been brainwashed into accepting troons in the girl's locker room as anything more than degenerate sexual predators that should be driven out of safe spaces by any means necessary.

 

[KingCoelacanth]

Someone should teach women that a good kick to the balls will bring a troon down quickly

that'd be 20 years minimum for a hate crime

 

[Cybertonia]

See this is why if you wanna join a gym, you join the absolute most expensive one that you can afford. And if you can't afford it, then you don't join!

We can't segregate people anymore based on sex or skin color, but we can still segregate people economically. Being in an expensive gym keeps out the dregs, and I'm referring to both the nonce troon and also the dippy airhead who is a fucking adult and is still too fucking tik-tok-brain-addled to understand "NO PHOTOS IN THE LOCKER ROOMS"

 

[MadStan]

Exactly. Women. Taking one for the team so I don’t have to.

Thanks Sheila’s!
