Transgendered Woman Upset by Gym's Policy

Post by techrtr »

Uhhhh, if I was a woman and this guy wanted to join my gym I would be a bit freaked out too. This is going way too far. The rights of the majority outweigh the rights of one creepy guy.

yeah this is way too much, you expect people to not trample on your perceived rights, but you can trample on theirs. The person was given an option, take it or don't or work out at home then

Trans activism is actually a men's rights movement.

You know, whatever your feelings are about the trans community, these are people. Referring to them as 'creepy' and 'it' is disgusting and dehumanizing. No wonder so many feel isolated and scared leading to such high suicide rates. Whether you are bigoted, transphobic or just ignorantly misinformed, show at least some decency.

Good grief. My eyes just rolled back so far in my head I just about fell over.

Roll you eyes all you want, but a woman pointed it out to me a couple months back, and the more I think about, she's right.

Trans activists want biological men in female spaces like prisons, sports, and bathrooms, and what women want be damned. If it weren't a men's rights activist movement they would be equally demanding biological women enter men's sports, men's prisons, and men's bathrooms.

Potentially huge business possibilities depending on market area, open a Transgender Gym.

:up: what anybody but themselves want be damned, why they think they should be treated differently is beyond me ? like I said, can't trample on their rights because it's being ignorant but they apparently can trample on others.

Chances are best spot centrally located in Vancouver area near a Skytrain stop (Expo or Millennium line).

It doesn’t say in the article if they have fully transferred over to female from male (surgery) but IMO until that happens they are still a male even if they don’t live as one.

If they are fully female it wouldn’t bother me at all for them to be in a female only gym or bathroom.

If they are still physically a male then nope.

Maybe a small gym. I think an alphabet gym in Davie would be b a better bet.

Does everyone entering the facilities need to show their genitals before they're allowed in?

There are plenty of transgender women who look "female" but still have a penis and you'd never know unless they showed you.
