Thanks for posting this. As the people said in the comments, I wish they had linked the journal article.

I clicked on the word 'review' in the article and was brought to the Journal where you can get the article. Here it is:

It appears to be a well-done study, with many citations and sources.

I learned a great deal.

Planet fitness and gym locker rooms in the news

I think it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

Interesting. When I had contacted them as a gym one time they said that the sex on my ID had to match which room I'd use for changing. And since that hasn't been altered yet I was like "nope, not going here" simply because it'd be fairly obvious I didn't belong in the women's room.

Hey, Linus. Can I ask why you haven't altered your gender marker on your I.D. yet? I know that you had top surgery, correct?

Good. It's such a rarity that a corporation sticks up for the trans community at all.

The repeated use of 'he' tells me that, despite what she says, she does not get it.

Because Canadian law requires all necessary surgeries to change passport as does the Ontario gov't (last time I looked).

At the time of the Planet Fitness issue I hadn't had any surgeries yet.
