What rules exactly? Iām split on trans bathroom policies for these reasons, the written policy Planet Fitness has is:
āAs the home of the Judgement Free Zone, Planet Fitness is committed to creating an inclusive environment,ā a spokesperson for the corporate parent said in a statement.
āOur 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.ā
Sincere self-reported gender identity. Member said they are transitioning and now has staff trying to help them in the locker room. That they are shaving is not an āah hah!ā picture taking occasion.
I clicked your link - and I got this paragraph, and a bunch of ads:
Starbucks customers have had enough of high prices and painfully slow service - with the coffee chain admitting it has lost tens of millions of visitors this year. It seems that former CEO Howard Schultz - who spent nearly four decades building Starbucks into the worldās biggest coffee chain - has had enough too.
Why did you boycott them? I used to go to them when I worked in a different department. Now that Iāve returned to tolls, I havenāt been there since.
Some time back someone in their upper management made comments which I found to be part of the woke and racist agenda of the Left. I just recall hearing this and telling myself Iām done with Starbucks.
Not a problem. I do the same stuff myself. I was just wondering what it was. Sometimes businesses donāt know when to keep their mouths shut. Target is off my list. They might not care, but either do I.
I was going to put this in its own thread, but really, itās sort of another case of āGo Woke Go Brokeā. Itās just not an issue of commerce and consumers voting with their feet. Itās voters voting with their votes.
I also could have put this in the āworst mediaā thread, because a lot of the articles out there about this occurrence make it seem like they were voted out because they are women.
GOP voters didnāt want their State Senators voting against the abortion ban, and these GOP Senators spearheaded the efforts to stop it. To the people of SC, thatās not what they sent their Senators there for. Defy the voters on such a watershed issue, and they can expect their political fortunes to go broke.
