Planet Fitness has landed in hot water over its transgender policies, which in turn has led to a sharp 4% drop in its stock value in just one afternoon, leaving investors, and common sense, questioning the company’s judgment.
The controversy began when a transgender woman (biological man), was found shaving in the women’s restroom. This caused some distress among many members who were uncomfortable, citing concerns over sharing the space with someone who is biologically a man.
The gym then revoked the membership of the woman, Patricia Silva, who vocalized her discomfort by filming the transgender woman, and sharing the video on social media. However, the decision was not without consequences as threats of a boycott quickly emerged.
“I just came out of Planet Fitness, and there is a man shaving in the women’s bathroom,” Silva said. “I realize he wants to be a woman, he gets to be a woman. I love him in Christ, he’s a spiritual being having a human experience. He doesn’t like his gender, so he wants to be a woman. But I’m not comfortable with him shaving in my bathroom.”
WATCH:
“Planet Fitness is defending the man in the women’s locker room, the man with a penis, rather than the child in the corner with a towel wrapped around her,” Silva pointed out.
Investors’ reaction to this controversy was swift, with a significant drop in the company’s stock value.
“As the home of the Judgement Free Zone, Planet Fitness is committed to creating an inclusive environment,” Planet Fitness chief corporate affairs officer McCall Gosselin said to Fox News.
“Our gender identity non-discrimination policy, states that members and guests may use the gym facilities that best align with their sincere, self-reported gender identity. The member who posted on social media violated our mobile device policy that prohibits taking photos of individuals in the locker room, which resulted in their membership being terminated.”
After conforming to the woke mob, users across social media have called for a boycott against Planet Fitness.

I hope Planet Fitness goes bankrupt… Men shouldn’t be shaving and showering in women’s bathrooms.

I see @PlanetFitness stock is crashing.
Why are they willing to make a large portion of their customer base uncomfortable in order to make a tiny percentage of their customers more comfortable?
Women don’t want men in the women’s locker room. It’s not complicated.…
