The Rage....
http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2015/03/24/3638044/planet-fitness-transgender-lawsuit/

Just a week or two ago, PF terminated the membership of some woman complaining about a transgender person using the women's restroom.

Now, she's suing for:

Quote

    A violation to her right to privacy — “a man used the locker room while Mrs. Cormier was using the locker room” — that caused her “embarrassment, humiliation, and severe emotional distress.”
    A loss of gym facilities, fear about using the gym facilities, embarrassment and humiliation, severe emotional distress, damage to reputation, and “all other damages that reasonably flow from Defendants’ outrageous behavior.”
    “Conduct and communication of a sexual nature.”
    Wrongful termination of membership agreement and breach of contract.
    The following “exemplary damages”: “aggravation, annoyance, discomfort, disgrace, feelings of oppression, humiliation, inconvenience, indignation, insult, mental anxiety, mental suffering, mortification, outrage, scorn, shame, sorrow, vexation, and worry.”

Thoughts?

I saw this a few weeks ago on Facebook and pretty much laughed at the woman.

Now I'm disgusted.  She's suing them because she's a disrespectful little bitch?  K lady.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Oh boy do I hope she gets laughed out of the court.

Cormier’s representation by Kallman Legal Group is likely not a coincidence. David and Stephen Kallman, a father and son team, already have a reputation for opposing LGBT equality in Michigan. In October of 2013, they submitted a legal memo challenging proposed LGBT nondiscrimination protections in Delta Township, claiming that the ordinance would violate others’ religious freedom. The memo compared homosexuality to extramarital sex, polygamy, pedophilia, serial killer rapists, necrophilia, bestiality, and incest and suggested that because gender identity is “internal to the person,” someone accused of discrimination would be required to be a “mind-reader” not to discriminate. Their suit against Planet Fitness for respecting how individuals self-identify their gender seems to disprove this last concern.

In addition to his legal practice, David Kallman serves on the board of the Colorado-based Salt and Light Global ministries, which believes the Bible is infallible and seeks to impose God’s law “in every social sphere in every community.” Both Kallmans also serve as legal counsel for the Great Lakes Justice Center, which has published issue briefs similarly rejecting LGBT protections as a violation of religious liberty and describing such laws as an attempt to promote “civil acceptance of homosexual conduct through the force of law.”
People really think these things.

I'm not sure what this comment is even supposed to mean. Are you saying you're going to "pretend" to be trans so you can peep on the ladies in the locker room?

Yeah.

If you need to resort to pretending to be trans in order to see a naked woman I have some serious questions about the health of your social life.

Politicized?

Just my beliefs bro. You're born a male, have a dick and balls, you're a man. Just accept it. And allowing a Male (whether hes in a dress or not) shouldn't be going into a womans locker room. If anything, I'd be for advocating an "other" labeled bathroom or locker room.

Is this something worth suing over? No. But its still pretty fucked up that it happened at all.

Didn't you read the exemplary damages including “aggravation, annoyance, discomfort, disgrace, feelings of oppression, humiliation, inconvenience, indignation, insult, mental anxiety, mental suffering, mortification, outrage, scorn, shame, sorrow, vexation, and worry.”

This woman is a fucking nutjob or she just wants to take as much money as she can get. No normal person would react like that if they saw a male in a bathroom.

Like I said, not worth suing over at all.

But I guarantee a "normal" woman would be freaking out if there was a man in her locker room.

Be a misogynist or misandrist and people go mad at you, be too equal, and people will be mad at you. People are never happy.

Gonna be honest, I'd be pretty put-off to see a woman (female, excuse me) changing in the men's locker room at the gym, even if that person claimed to be trans. But c'mon, have some decency. I can't imagine how much she was bitching if it was bad enough for management to revoke her membership, and if it was such an issue, she should have taken her business elsewhere.
