Planet Fitness loses $400 million in value after banning woman who exposed the company’s anti-female stance

 Olivia Murray - American Thinker   "When Patricia Silva spotted a man shaving in front of a female child in the locker room at a Planet Fitness in Fairbanks, Alaska, she approached the individual and suggested he use the men’s locker room. Of course a disagreement ensued, at which point Silva got her phone out to expose the creep (without the nudity of course); shortly after the confrontation, Silva found herself banned from the gym, with managers filing a police report against her.

"When Silva’s story went viral, the company doubled-down on backing the pervert, and in the wake of the decision, Planet Fitness has lost around $400 million in stock value. Here’s the story, from a report published at the Daily Mail yesterday:

Planet Fitness’ valuation has plummeted $400 million in five days after they banned a member who shared a photo of a ‘trans woman’ using a female locker room.

The company’s value dropped from $5.3 billion on March 14 to $4.9 billion on March 19, and its shares are down by 13.59 percent compared to a month ago.

The decline follows Planet Fitness’ refusal to walk back its decision to ban a member who exposed a ‘trans woman’ shaving in a female locker room earlier this month.

"According to an article at The Advocate:

A spokesperson for the gym recently defended the decision to the Daily Mail, maintaining that not only did Silva violate Planet Fitness’s policy on mobile devices in locker rooms, but that ‘discomfort is not a reason to deny access.’ . . .

   "Popular gym franchise Planet Fitness has announced plans to add a "Bigot Alarm" at all locations nationwide to alert members whenever there is a horrible transphobic woman who doesn't want men watching her change in the women's locker room.

"The addition, which will function similarly to the existing "Lunk Alarm," will notify the entire gym whenever someone comes across a woman who is uncomfortable with the idea of having men walking around naked and shaving their body hair in the locker room reserved for women.

" 'Finally, a way to alert the entire gym that there's a hateful bigot present!" said a Planet Fitness spokesman. "Gone are the days when men would have to endure horrified looks and frightened screams from women when they entered the ladies' locker room. Now, just sound the ‘Bigot Alarm' and let everyone else know that there's a woman who has the audacity to express disapproval of men walking around naked in the ladies' room."

" 'Take that, bigots! Hate has no home here!" . . .   Full article.
