The historical rights to gender privacy are being eroded.\u00a0 Notice the following:<\/p>\n

March 7, 2015<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Michigan<\/a> woman’s Planet Fitness membership was revoked after she complained about a transgender person in the women’s locker room.<\/p>\n

Yvette Cormier, a 48, said she was walking into the Midland Planet Fitness locker room last Saturday when she saw someone “dressed like a man.”<\/p>\n

The person was wearing a wig and “a little bit of blush,” but was “huge” and appeared “very manly,” Cormier told ABC News today.<\/p>\n

“I just stopped right there in my tracks,” she said. “It was a man for sure.”<\/p>\n

Cormier, who had been a Planet Fitness member for two months, said she went to the front desk immediately. The man at the desk told her that Planet Fitness policy is “whatever gender you feel you are, that’s the locker room you’re allowed to go in,” she said.<\/p>\n

“And then he said, ‘We’ve had lots of complaints about him but we told him to go change in a stall,'” Cormier said.<\/p>\n

“He said, ‘if you’re uncomfortable with that you can wait until he’s done in there,'” she said. “I stood back and said, ‘How about he waits until I’m done in the women’s locker room. Or get a unisex bathroom.’ He asked if I would like to talk to the manager and I said, ‘I’m calling corporate.'” …<\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t have signed up for this gym if I knew that ahead of time,” Cormier said, adding that the gym is “failing to protect me if anything happens in those locker rooms with a man.”<\/p>\n

She said she went back to the gym the next few days and “told everyone in the locker room what happened.” She said everyone she talked to “was appalled.”<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Cormier said, Planet Fitness Corporate called and revoked her membership immediately.<\/p>\n

“They said, ‘You are talking to people about him in the women’s locker room. You are making people upset.’ That’s my whole point,” she said. “I’m telling them and warning them because you are not doing that. You allow men in there, and we are appalled by it.”<\/p>\n

Planet Fitness Director of Public Relations McCall Gosselin said the gym is “committed to creating a non-intimidating, welcoming environment for our members. Our gender identity<\/a> non-discrimination policy states that members and guests may use all gym facilities based on their sincere self-reported gender identity.”<\/p>\n

The statement continued, “The manner in which this member expressed her concerns about the policy exhibited behavior that management at the Midland club deemed inappropriate and disruptive to other members, which is a violation of the membership agreement and as a result her membership was cancelled.”<\/p>\n

Gosselin added, “As our statement outlines, her membership was not cancelled as a result of complaints about our policy, as we welcome all feedback from our members. Rather, it was the manner in which her concerns were expressed that club management felt was inappropriate, which resulted in the cancellation.” http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Health\/planet-fitness-revokes-womans-membership-transgender-complaint\/story?id=29465983<\/a><\/p>\n

A Michigan Planet Fitness canceled a woman\u2019s membership after she campaigned to get a transgender person, whom she described as \u201ca man,\u201d booted from the women\u2019s locker room.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe manner in which this member expressed her concerns about the policy exhibited behavior that management at the Midland club deemed inappropriate and disruptive to other members,\u201d said a statement from the Planet Fitness gym in Midland County, Mich.<\/p>\n

The gym called the woman\u2019s actions a \u201cviolation of the membership agreement\u201d and the chain\u2019s policy of a \u201cno judgment zone.\u201dhttp:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2015\/mar\/7\/planet-fitness-mich-revokes-womans-membership-over\/#ixzz3TnujhWnZ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is the type of decision the ‘founding fathers’ of the USA would have vomited against.\u00a0 A woman is not entitled to be able to change in her clothes in a locker room without being subject to being watched by a man.\u00a0 Because she utilizes her freedom of speech, she is condemned as being ‘judgmental’ and booted from the fitness club.<\/p>\n

Planet Fitness has a problem with moral fitness.<\/p>\n

Now, in Planet Fitness’ defense, it probably felt that its policy was the only way to not violate current and expected anti-discrimination laws, regulations, and statues.\u00a0 And that may well be.<\/p>\n

I recall hearing that part of the reason for the 9\/11 disaster was that the legal office of one of the airlines told the employees that they had to allow on the plane the terrorists, despite the perceived security threat, as the airline was afraid of being sued for discrimination.<\/p>\n

While most do not consider that loss of freedom of speech or right to privacy from other genders when changing clothes is as risky as terrorism, they should consider that the Bible has warnings related to to those who stray sexually and those that condone such behavior:<\/p>\n

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:26-32)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The legal and moral decline of the USA will have severe consequences.<\/p>\n

\u201cCross-dressing\u201d is condemned as an abomination in the Bible:<\/p>\n

5 A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman\u2019s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy 22:5)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Bible clearly condemns cross-dressing. It does not consider it to be a right.<\/p>\n

The Bible also condemns males acting effeminate:<\/p>\n

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,\u00a0 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.\u00a0 (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, KJV)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Allowing ‘transgendered’ males into female locker rooms is wrong.<\/p>\n

Thus, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah were to serve as an example to those who would live as they did. Yet despite biblical warnings, many modern leaders are endorsing so-called homosexual\u00a0 and transgender “rights”:<\/p>\n

12\u2026Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths. (Isaiah 3:12)<\/p>\n

16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed (Isaiah 9:16).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, leaders that ignore what the Bible teaches are leading others toward destruction.<\/p>\n

No one should be ignoring the warnings of the Bible. No one should be pushing the homosexual and transgender agenda. Yet, many in the West, corporate leaders included, foolishly are–and this will be to their peril.<\/p>\n
