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After she relayed her complaints to management, Silva said, her membership was revoked for violating the rules against photographing other gym users.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

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.

Don't argue with dumb niggers.

 

[Faceless Whore]

But according to transgender activism, there is no "improper" assertation of gender identity.

If proper journalists existed they would ask PF to precisely define what "improper" is. That would be fun to read.

Is this why Pooners and Troons hate eachother? They both have what the other cannot ever have?

Unironically yes. I've seen posts in the troon threads of TiMs literally REEEing about pooners because "look what they threw away". I've yet to see a pooner say the same, but they're women so they're naturally more passive and too "positive vibes only" to say something so heckin negative dooood.

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.

Federal civil rights laws pre-empt state laws and explicitly call for the protection of women and women's spaces.

 

[World Famous Quasi Payer]

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.

yes I will spray you and then I will unflinchingly lie to the police to ruin your life.

Lmao, I hope your ass lives in a red area of a red state because your account of what happened isn't enough to get someone arrested and it sure as shit isn't enough to get a troon arrested in a blue shithole.

Its also a very good way to get attacked by a troon as well. Pepper spray sucks, but it isn't disabling.

As I've already explained at least two times, getting them arrested isn't the goal. Getting them to stay the fuck out of our spaces is the goal. And it would be very effective if more women did it, which is why I shared. It's what people used to do, chase them out of our spaces and tell police they groped us or were jacking off. If more women did this the troons wouldn't feel so welcome to try it. Obviously playing nice and meekly complaining and posting pictures on social media does not work. The old way is what works.

As for being attacked, that's why you run afterward.

Prepper spraying someone unjustifiably is assault. If he isn't the one getting arrested, you are. Do you understand that?

>my word against a disgusting hulking troon
"I pepper sprayed him because he grabbed my breast and he had his dick out, officer."

And you're still ignoring what I said that 99% of the time this won't even involve police, because the troon will leave. Which is the point.

>my word against a disgusting hulking troon

And that officer in a blue city/state is gonna be on the side of the disgusting hulking troon and isn't going to believe you.

And you're still ignoring what I said that 99% of the time this won't even involve police, because the troon will leave. Which is the point.

You wanna risk your ass on the bases of what one troon did, go ahead. Other women have already been assaulted violently by the true & honest types before.

I have no problem reminding the women of Kiwifarms they voted for this

Planet Fitness primary elections are when again?

 

[dustbuster]

The Former CEO has reached out to Libs of Tiktok to detail how he was FIRED for finding C-level staff (hired by the people who bought him out) were literal convicted pedophiles

Repeating for those in the back:
Former CEO found c-level staff were pedophiles, and when he brought this to the parent company he was FIRED.

Planet Fitness is a pedophile operation and anyone who has a membership should cancel immediately.

Different person but one of these stunning and brave women Planet Fitness let in has been arrested and found to have a string of prior such sex pest behaviour.

Update 9/14/23 at 5:10 pm: Monroe Police Department is reporting that Jakorbie Dixon was located and arrested in collaboration with Walton County GA Sheriff’s Office and the DeKalb County Police Department.

Monroe Police seek information on the whereabouts of the suspect

MONROE, GA (Sept. 13, 2023) Monroe Police Chief R.V. Watts confirmed an incident that took place at Planet Fitness in Monroe, Ga. last week in which a naked biological male exposed himself to a 15-year-old who was in the change room. He said Monroe Police Department has warrants for the subject’s arrest for public indecency – and apparently another jurisdiction has warrants on the same grounds.

The subject has been identified as Jakorbie Dixon, 25, of Conyers, and the Monroe Police Department put out the following warning on its Facebook page. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Dixon is asked to contact Sgt. Jeremy Youngs at Monroe Police Department, 770-266-5183.


The incident was initially reported by the aunt of the 15-year-old victim who, in a Facebook post, reported that the young teen was near the shower when the subject pulled back the curtain and “stood there naked, exposing himself to her.” She said her niece, “shocked and startled, quickly started to leave when the man spoke to her and told her she could stay. He continued to talk to her as she left the locker room.”

The aunt said she and her sister went to the gym the next morning and she spoke to management. She said the gym admitted they had other similar complaints and they knew who the man was. However, they said the subject had the right to be in the women’s locker room, but they would give him a warning and ask him not to expose himself to other people while in the bathroom.”

Watts said his concern was with the incident and the safety of young women in the locker room and not with any gym policy.

“We are putting a warning on our social media about the incident,” Watts said. “He is not in custody at this time but we do have warrants for his arrest.”

According to the City of Monroe Police Report, the subject was registered as a gym member through an out-of-state membership. He also was registered under a false name. Police were able to trace the correct person through the name of the person paying for the membership and witnesses confirmed that Dixon was indeed the subject who had allegedly exposed himself. He also allegedly had exposed himself to one of the employees, a 19-year-old female, on two previous occasions. She told police he called the front desk on the phone sometime in March this year and asked for this particular employee to come into the ladies change room. When she entered, he was naked and then attempted to talk to her. He also asked her to call one of the other employees to come into the change room. The second time was a couple of week’s ago. At that time he again was naked and “his penis was fully erect.”

Charges have been filed on Dixon for those two incidents as well as last week’s case involving the 15-year-old. (Editor’s Note: An arrest or charge does not constitute a conviction).

Attempts to speak to a person at the local Planet Fitness by phone were not successful, but the policy on the Corporate website does give a gender policy that would allow for a person who identifies as trans to use the bathroom in accordance to the gender by which they identify.

The Planet Fitness Non-Discrimination Policy reads as follows:

“Planet Fitness does not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any person on its premises on the basis of race, national origin, ancestry, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age, disability, or any other basis protected by law. All members will have access to restroom and locker room facilities that correspond to their sincerely held, self-reported gender identity to the extent permitted by applicable law.”

However, it does note in Section 3 of the policy the following exceptions if it is believed that the person is fraudulently identifying themselves as a trans person. (Whether or not Dixon is a declared trans for membership has not been verified with Planet Fitness staff at this time.)

Members will be treated according to their sincerely held, self-reported gender identity. However, a member cannot fraudulently or improperly assert a self-reported gender identity. If a conflict arises regarding a member’s self-reported gender identity, a Planet Fitness staff member who has been trained on Planet Fitness policy and practices with regard to transgender members:

• Should have a conversation with the member in order to determine the member’s gender identity and any other gender-related concerns.
• Should, in rare cases, where fraud or improper purpose is reasonably suspected, request documentation supporting the member’s stated gender identity. This documentation includes, but is not limited to, a letter from a medical provider, therapist, social worker, member of the clergy, family member, friend, etc. If this additional documentation is requested, that request must be reported by the Planet Fitness staff member to the Planet Fitness Legal Department.
• NOTE: documentation of gender identity for members is not expected or required in the majority of cases – it is only necessary when a Planet Fitness staff member reasonably suspects fraud or other improper purpose.

The full Gender Identity Non-Discrimination Policy is specific, however, noting “Planet Fitness is a health and fitness facility by trade, but a judgement free zone® by character,” with the following policy information giving the specifics of the gender policy:

(Subject to Section Three), “all members, including transgender members, may use Planet Fitness locker room facilities and programs based on their self-reported gender identity; these facilities include bathrooms, showers, and all other facilities separated by sex. Wherever possible, Planet Fitness clubs should maintain private changing areas in each locker room for the comfort of all members. Where applicable, unisex bathrooms can also be made available as needed for the privacy and comfort of members. Some members may feel uncomfortable with a transgender member using the same locker room facilities, bathrooms, showers, or other facilities/programs separated by sex. This discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender member. Planet Fitness staff should work with members and employees to address this discomfort and to foster a climate of understanding consistent with the judgement free character of Planet Fitness.“

The full Planet Fitness policy can be found on the company corporate website at this link.

This is not the first time a Monroe gym has had a naked biological male reported to be in the female change rooms. There have been two previous occasions when similar incidents were reported in Monroe Police Reports.

Planet Fitness is a pedophile operation and anyone who has a membership should cancel immediately.

Why would any reasonable person have a membership at a gym with an air raid siren the staff can press for any reason? No pizza is worth such ear rape.

 

[pisswomble]

Places need 3 changing rooms these days; one for men, one for woman and one for the freaks and troons.

It's not really enough now to send the freaks back to their 'proper' changing rooms after they've turned themselves into mutilated abominations.

I'm no prude, but I don't want these big hairy man trannies with beards and tits having to come in and use the same changing room as me while I'm drying my balls after a swim.

 

[Xarpho's Return]

Planet Fitness lives on basically cheap commercial real estate.

I'm going to go over the original tenants of some of the Planet Fitness stores within a two-hour radius:

Half of a Winn-Dixie
A third of a Wal-Mart (the one left abandoned by a Supercenter move)
A third of a Wal-Mart (the one left abandoned by a Supercenter move--yes a different one)
Half of a Dillard's department store
Half of a Kroger
Palais Royal
Bealls
Sears Hardware
A third of a Randalls
A third of a Venture

This seems like a rather fragile business model. In not one case have they ever been purpose-built, like Gold's Gym or 24 Hour Fitness are.

 

[Shiki Ouji]

Places need 3 changing rooms these days

No, they don't. Troons do not deserve to have their delusions reinforced.

As they are prone to being sexual deviants, what do you think they will use bathrooms for? And consequently, should anyone working minimum wage have to clean up after any of it?

 

[The Ugly One]

It's what people used to do, chase them out of our spaces and tell police they groped us or were jacking off.

Uh, where is a woman supposed to jack off if not the ladies' room?

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Uh, where is a woman supposed to jack off if not the ladies' room?

Imagine not shlicking in the girl's locker room with your girlfriends.
