Conservatives on Twitter are sounding the alarm over a decision by Planet Fitness, the gym chain, to place transgender rights over the safety of women. Apparently they cancelled the membership of a woman who complained about a transgender man undressing in the women’s locker room. Obviously to anyone with more than half a brain cell, if you let men into the locker room of women there’s going to be a safety risk.
Some hippy liberals were happy about the decision:
Thank you @PlanetFitness for standing up against transphobia!

@PlanetFitness As a trans woman I just wanna thank you for not tolerating transphobia at your gym. <3

But others are beginning to highlight the problems with such a policy:
I shouldn't have to undress in front of any man who thinks he's a woman – or- a man who wants to see lady bits. Period. End. Of. Story.

Hey @PlanetFitness I'll be telling every female I know your gym doesn't respect women's privacy or safety. And they'll tell their friends…

.@LilMissRightie I don't fear trans ppl – I fear predators who would pretend to be one. Legitimate concerns shared by many.

I know the trans crowd is of the belief their mere presence is the reason for the universe but women's privacy/safety trumps their feels.
— lauren (@LilMissRightie) March 7, 2015
More offensive to me than anything is the fact the trans crowd is so predictably boring. Like feminists, the have one speed: victimhood.

Exactly. RT @EdB_Ohio: @sistertoldjah The grievance mentality makes them believe you're calling all of them predators. @LilMissRightie

The corporate office phone number for @PlanetFitness is 1-844-880-7180

So the trans crowd just searches a few key words on twitter and makes trolling their life's mission? Fun lives you all must have.

@sistertoldjah @PlanetFitness @theblaze Does that mean any guy can hit the ladies locker room? Father of 4 girls says, uhh…no.

Maybe @PlanetFitness will understand how dangerous their policy is when a woman gets assaulted or pictures of her end up online #LawsuitTime
— lauren (@LilMissRightie) March 7, 2015
The fact we even have to point out men, gay, straight, whatever you claim to be, have NO PLACE in a women's locker room is patently absurd.
— lauren (@LilMissRightie) March 7, 2015
Hey @planetfitness, is there a test you have to prove someone is transgender? Or can anyone claim it and get into the women’s locker room?

This tweet is a hate crime RT "@mrmik1234 Lgbt community take note: ur rights dont trump others"

Feeling safe in my surroundings is priority number one. Happy home, Happy life. I will not budge an inch on issue. Not should I have to.

I don't have one because you discriminate against women RT "@PlanetFitness: What is your post-PF routine? pic.twitter.com/qiVu8yzWSE"
— lauren (@LilMissRightie) March 7, 2015
@LilMissRightie why doesn't @PlanetFitness just scrap gender labelled locker rooms altogether and just have ONE large unlabeled locker area?
— here Kitty, Kitty (@AnneRkissed69) March 7, 2015
This isn't even a political correctness issue. @PlanetFitness is actually discriminating against women by saying men can undress near women.
— lauren (@LilMissRightie) March 7, 2015
B/C my choices are a) be forced to undress around men or b) get my membership cancelled if I object to "a". This is actual discrimination
— lauren (@LilMissRightie) March 7, 2015
It’s really ironic that the “social justice warrior” left says it cares about women more than society does, but it keeps disarming them against threats through gun control, and now by eroding the safety of their locker rooms.
