The entire argument is absurd. Women have good reason to fear a man who is dressing in women's attire, as it is the number one paraphilia among serial killers and sexual predators. Assaults and peeping in women's bathrooms are quite common, and often the perpetrator is wearing "women's clothing". (I could provide examples if anyone's interested, just don't have the time right now)
The man in question at Planet Fitness was not even a member of the gym, but had only visited once before to leave his bag in the women's locker room. So what we have here is a case of a woman spotting a man she didn't know in a private room designated for women. She complains about it to management, is told to ignore her own safety for the sake of not hurting the feelings of an obvious male who is 'fully intact'. She then warns other members about this policy, and her own membership is terminated.
As far as whether private facilities would solve the problem, it's my understanding(though not positive about this) that private facilities were available at Planet Fitness, but this person deliberately chose to ignore them in favor of the women's room. So no, that wouldn't settle the debate, and most of the "activists" are not asking for private facilities anyway.
Needless to say, I'm completely disgusted by this particular case, and the way the woman- who was frightened for her safety and that of the other women- has been treated by the liberal media. This male had no business being anywhere near women's locker rooms, and yet, he is the innocent victim, according to the left? Complete insanity.
