A Planet Fitness member who was banned for complaining about a transgender female in the women's locker rooms in 2015 said she 'knew this was going to happen again' as she saw the latest controversy embroiling the gym.
Yvette Cormier, a Michigan woman who had her membership with Planet Fitness cancelled nine years ago, told DailyMail.com on Thursday that she saw a lot of paralells between her case and that of Patricia Silva. Silva, 67, made headlines last week when she expressed outrage that a 'man with a penis' was carrying out their ablutions in front of her and a young girl wrapped in a towel. She confronted the individual, took a photo and alerted staff.
'My first reaction was that I knew this was going to happen again,' Cormier said.
She offered her support to Silva and joined conservative calls for a boycott, as she did in 2015 when she complained about seeing a transgender woman in the women's locker room in Midland.
Cormier sued Planet Fitness for invasion of privacy, sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract and emotional distress.
Silva lost but an appeals court found the gym violated the Consumer Protection Act by not properly informing members that transgender women would be allowed to use the women's restroom, the Detroit Free Press reported in 2018.
'That's the purpose for having a men's and women's locker room, for the men to go into men's and women to go into women's,' Cormier told DailyMail.com.
'I suggested early on to have a unisex bathroom, and then people who are transitioning or you know, whatever, could use that bathroom.'
In her case, she said, the person in question, who was never identified, was not transgender. She claimed he was a 'pervert' man who had a history of stalking women around town.

Look at how are down the drain we’ve come in this culture when someone says a man and then has to qualify that with “with a penis”, men have a penis those who don’t are people pretending to be a man, conversely women have vaginas, those who don’t are perverted men with a penis.
A good loud scream might help...
What are they going to do to you ???
get in the papers as not protecting women ???
No normal American need patronize Planet Fagness anymore.
Planet Fitness had a good run. They will be gone within two years. No female is going to put up with much more of this crap.
This madness all started when we kicked God out of the public square and our lives.
No Fiscal Fitne$$ for the Planet.
Good reason to cancel the PF gym memberships that are never used.🤣
Planet Fitness will become a club for only a small percentage of the population. Bye Planet Fitness.
Wrong....... The pevert flap will not have anything to do with continued attendance to the gym
Time will tell. Planet Fitness has already lost $400M in value.
Loud scream and describe the exposed organs. Then call 911. It’s a crime in many places to not report sexual harassment of children.
“The pevert flap will not have anything to do with continued attendance to the gym”
Agree. The majority of people who frequent these places are more obsessed with themselves than current events in America, morals, etc. A few might go elsewhere, but not many.
I stopped using the term “transgender” a long time ago. “Pretendaboy” and “Pretendeagirl” is much less confusing.
They will have to start charging a lot more because normal people won’t want to be members. We don’t have any Planet Fitness’s in our area...and I am so glad!
Go woke, go....
They need to be shut down for creating a physical threat to their clients. Unsafe.
America is finished. Americans’ physical survival is now at stake.
“PF had a good run ... no female is going to put up with much more of this crap ...”
I had been debating whether PF might be a good choice for me but not now. If they allow guys in the gals’ locker room, nope.
