A little more about the PF controversy: 1) the transgender was attending as a guest and asked which change room to use and PF staff said you pick. 2) the woman who complained had no idea about the policy and when she learned what it was then asked PF to inform other patrons and was told that was against pf policy so she told other women at the gym the PF policy because PF refuses to tell women that their policy is "you can pick our own gender/ locker room". I understand she also raised safety concerns to PF. This is why she got the boot. It's a sort of don't ask, don't tell, SURPRISE! I personally would not go to a place that allowed men in the women's bathroom/ locker/ shower area period. I would expect to be notified of the policy ahead of time. I really don't think you can screen for mental status and say this man is OK and this one is likely to take pictures or do other inappropriate and or dangerous things. I have met transgenders I would have no fear of in that situation but it's impossible to know the heart of a strange man you find in a public facility. I know that I would not put myself in a situation ripe for abuse. It's insane or do they not teach young women to walk defensively to parking lots or stay in groups and keep an eye on their surroundings these days? Violent sexual crime is a reality.
