“It’s inspiring to me to watch them go out on their own and do the things they do. We’ve raised three strong, independent, strong-minded young women. And what I’m most grateful for is just how normal our kids are and how grounded they are and how much they respect themselves and other people. It makes me feel like we’ve done a pretty decent job, especially Mom.”
Tim McGraw garnered backlash from certain netizens after Planet Fitness banned a woman from the studio after she posted a picture of a transgender woman in the woman’s locker room.
The patron asked a Planet Fitness employee to have the other woman, who was shaving her face, removed from the locker room, however, the employee stated that the woman may use another stall if she is uncomfortable with the situation.
After the matter gained traction online, Planet Fitness released a statement announcing that they wish to create a judgment-free and inclusive space where their gender identity non-discrimination policy is strictly followed.
They went on to state that the woman who took pictures of the other patron was banned from Planet Fitness as she violated the organization’s mobile device policy, which prohibits members from taking photos inside the locker room.
