A Life Time gym in St. Louis, Missouri, is facing an investigation from the state's attorney general over its alleged transgender inclusion policies.
A St. Louis branch of Life Time Fitness could be facing civil and criminal liabilities after it allegedly 'adopted a policy' allowing transgender women into the female locker rooms, the state's attorney general announced Friday. Missouri AG Andrew Bailey told the CEO of Life Time Fitness in a letter that while allowing biological males to enter whatever restroom they choose is popular in corporate policy books, he would not tolerate it under his jurisdiction.
Even more concerning is the fact that instead of taking the safety concerns from your gym members seriously, you rudely correct them and insist they call this biological male by the ‘correct pronouns,'' Bailey alleged. He then said he was looking into criminal charges against them under various statutes after numerous constituents complained to his office, alleging 'the gym has actively allowed a biological male to use women and girls’ private spaces.
Additionally, Bailey alleged that – generally speaking – a biological male exposing himself in a female space 'may be subject to further criminal liability for multiple sexual offenses, including sexual misconduct in the first degree and the felony offense of sexual misconduct involving a child.' The Life Time gym's 'policies are enabling potentially criminal behavior, and I am writing to assure you that it will not continue on my watch,' the AG warned.
The company previously released a statement which said it was complying with existing state laws.
