[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the procedure should the gym implement in future to screen transgendered? Should they lets every male who claims that he is a female to use female locker? Should they defend dr. Note? [/quote]

From this gym's statement on the incident in question: "Our gender identity non-discrimination policy states that members and guests may use all gym facilities based on their sincere self-reported gender identity."

So as to what procedure a gym should use to "screen transgendered", my answer would be "sincere self-reporting of gender identity" dictates what bathroom you're allowed to use. As others have pointed out, transwomen are in far more danger if forced to use men's rooms than ciswomen are from a transwoman using a women's room.

When you find an example of a woman being victimized by a man who gained entry into a women's bathroom or locker room by wearing a dress and lipstick, you should feel free to post a link to that example. Until then, my recommendation is that we continue to focus on problems that actually exist, rather than hypothetical problems. As for women who are uncomfortable with men at the gym, that's what Curves is for. Maybe you'd feel more comfortable there.[/quote]
