A
Michigan woman is defending her behavior toward a transgender person
that ultimately resulted in her losing her gym membership.
“This is all new to me. I didn’t go out to specifically bash a transgender person that day,” Yvette Cournier told CNN Tuesday night, in an attempt to defend the behavior that ultimately resulted in her losing her membership to the Plant Fitness in Midland, Michigan.
“This is about me and how I felt unsafe. I should feel safe in there.”
Upon seeing a transgender woman in the locker room, Cournier went to the
gym’s front desk to complain, explaining, “I wanted to know why there
was a man in the women’s locker room.
He looked like a man, and that’s
what stopped me in my tracks.” Cournier was told by the front desk
representative about Planet Fitness’ “no-judgment” policy, which
includes the use of bathrooms and locker rooms by individuals based on
“their sincere, self-reported gender identity.”
