I've never had this happen to me, as I never really used public changing rooms. When I went to work out, I always changed at home.

But if it happens in the future, I plan to immediately leave and tell the front desk or manager or whoever that I will not be coming back if men are allowed in the changing/bathrooms. I won't say anything to the TiM, because I wouldn't want to risk any act of violence against me or my daughters, if they are with me.

I also plan to teach my daughters that if a boy comes in the bathroom, to leave and tell a teacher. They should only physically fight if the boy does something first. I don't like the idea of my daughters becoimg victims, but I do not want them expelled or arrested instead. I'm not an anxious person, but this keeps me up at night sometimes :/

The gym will likely take the man's side: https://www.clubindustry.com/commercial-clubs/former-member-sues-planet-fitness-over-locker-room-policy-transgenders

Planet Fitness lost this lawsuit but that just means they had to refund her membership fees. They didn't change policy.

Yeah, but it's more a "principle of the thing". I would not want to sue the gym or anything. I would just make the management aware of why exactly they were losing a paying customer.
