After instructing women to share toilets with male patrons and instructing staff to speak in a pro-transgender manner, Planet Fitness’ stock fell.
Following news on Friday that “Planet Fitness requires women to share toilets with guys and to refer to men with whatever pronouns they desire” and that the fitness chain is also pressuring its staff to talk in a way that transgender clients demand, the gym’s shares fell.
Some members might find it awkward to use the same showers, restrooms, locker rooms, or other sex-specific facilities or programs as transgender members. This discomfort is not an excuse to refuse the transgender member access,” a social media user shared an operating handbook from Planet Fitness.
The operating handbook went on, “Planet Fitness personnel should collaborate with members and staff to alleviate any discomfort and to develop an understanding atmosphere keeping with the judgment-free nature of Planet Fitness.”
According to the handbook, “If reasonably known to the Planet Fitness team, staff members must endeavor to address transgender members using names, titles, pronouns, and other terminology consistent with their chosen gender identity.”
The handbook further stated that “Planet Fitness maintains the right to terminate someone’s membership immediately for any infraction of this policy.”
Notably, the company’s operating handbook went viral on social media, causing PLNT shares to tumble by 8%.
I was planning to enlist. Not right now. Wow, said a social media user in response to the guidebook.
Another said, “It is sad to report that many corporations have determined for most what is right and what is not and have thrown common sense out the window.”
Another person wrote, “People with male anatomy do not belong in the women’s toilet, bathroom, or locker room.” I hope a lot of people are canceling their subscriptions at Planet Fitness.
One social media user said, “Planet Fitness is a shame,” while another cried out, “IN OTHER WORDS, PLANET FITNESS IS NUTS.”
I remember when Target made their costly decision on this. I posted that, “If my wife or the wife of another of our party, or daughters of any of us were inside a Ladies’ Room, and one of those, (I don’t do stupid pronouns or talk with your imaginary friends, either), attempted to get by me, there would be a call for cleanup at front of store”. I’m too old to play fisticuffs or dirty street fighting. Just sayin’. Maybe a magic wand, better yet one with capacitance.
There is no such thing as a transgender!!! You can change your body any way you want, but you CANNOT change your gender!!! Any doctor or person who states that you can, is delusional!!!
I am sick and tired of the minority trying to force their wants and needs onto all of society! They have no more rights than the rest of us, and yet we are being forced to use idiotic pronouns, that make absolutely no sense whatsoever. I refuse to do so. If their feelings get hurt, tough!!!
you are 100 correct on this issue how dare them to impose their ways we as women should not to worry bout some man invading our spaces and also protect our daughters from these perverts
I totally agree with CJ, you cannot change a man into a woman or a woman into a man. God made them the way they were born and no doctor can change that. I don’t care how good a surgeon they are. You cannot change the sex of a person. They are only changing their appearance on the outside. To prove we are right these men can not have babies can they? These people are just QUEERS like by parents and grandparents always called them. They just look better. If born a man they should be in a man’s bathroom. And if they are sent to prison, if born a man they should be sent to a man’s prison. No excuses or Exceptions.
No matter how you chop etc, DNA cannot be changed. God made 2 genders, man and woman. Man made freaks. Planet Fitness is walking all over men and woman in favor of the freaks. Let Planet Fitness keep the freaks, and may all the real men and women leave Planet Fitness.
Amen! Its time for the American people to show these companies we are not playing. Boycott any company that pushes this crap
I hear you loud and clear. What is normal now?
Many people go to the gym, exercising to get that “cut” look.
A new machine needs to be installed at Planet Fitness to achieve the “transition” they say, or need.
A complimentary package of sanitary napkins will be issued after the completion of the machines use, to the recently dismembered member.
For the safety of the other Planet Fitness members (and those wishing to still have “members”) the machine will be designated in a safe, soundproof area.
I for one will heed the advise of Ace Ventura and ” not go in there”.
I will not renew my membership. Planet Fitness good by , you have become a sick company..
JUST AS SICK AS OUR CONGRESS AND GOVERNMENT. WHEN I HEAR THAT MEN NEED COTEX ETC I WAN’T TO VOMIT. THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS, ANY FOOL KNOWS THIS, BUT I GUESS YOU HAVE TO BE SENILE TO THINK OTHERWISE. AND PEOPLE LIKE THIS ARE RUNNING OUR COUNTRY. TIME TO BRING BACK THE ONLY SANE,INTELLIGENT, STRONG , AMERICA LOVING PRESIDENT, A REAL MAN, NOT SOME PRETENDER, DONALD TRUMP IN 2024, SOONER WOULD BE BETTER…
u got that right we neesd trumo go maga
Boycott Planet Fitness!!!
There are men and there are women period. Shame on Planet Fitness! I hope they go under. These so called transgender people need counseling and possibly hormone therapy. We should not have to put up with men in women’s facilities or women in men’s facilities. I agree with the people who have said boycott any company that pushes this bs. And we need President Trump now.
Planet fitness is crazy. And it said coming soon to where i am— i sure as hell hope not. I will not stand for a man to be in a bathroom and one of my granddaughters want to use the bathroom– there will be trouble you can count on it. Put the bastard out on his ass. If it hangs its a male and dam sure better stay out of woman ‘s bathrooms. And its a shame that the transgenter males had to take over the womans sports , that is so wronge. A biological male dont need in woman’ s sports, showers, bathrooms, anywhere that is for females only. The Military is being taken over by these things just to get the bills for there change paid for. Bidens military is the worse in history. Ares use to be the strongest and the best but not sence Biden took over. Anyway i hope the transgenters stay out of little children’s schoos they dont need to be learning this horrible shit. And keep the dirty books out also. There are only two sex biological males and biological females there are know room for trying to change one to the other.
Some very Stupid parents are letting their small children that fill out of place in their sex. Change their gender, this is how sick some parents are in today’s world. It’s not the kids fault they are to young to know better. The parents should be hung from the highest tree for doing this to their child. When the children were old enough they would have never wanted this done to them.
