Missouri AG opens investigation into gym for allowing biological male to use women's private spaces

By kevinhughes // 2024-08-06

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has initiated an investigation into Life Time Fitness in Ellisville after constituents notified him that the gym was allowing a biological male to use spaces reserved for women and girls. "BREAKING: I have launched an investigation into Life Time Fitness for allowing a biological male into women’s locker rooms. The gym faces potential criminal AND civil liability for putting Missouri’s women and girls in harm’s way. I am issuing subpoenas," Bailey wrote in a post on his X account. Bailey said he immediately put the gym on notice that they face both possible criminal and civil liability for placing women and girls in harm’s way. "It has come to my attention that Life Time Fitness has proudly adopted a policy that permits biological men to use locker rooms designated specifically for women and young girls," Bailey said in the notice of investigation. "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 continued. "While it might be considered fashionable in certain corporate boardrooms to pretend that biology is irrelevant, the American heartland still lives in reality." Bailey went on to say that "Missourians recognize that allowing adult men to openly invade and disrobe in spaces set aside for women and young girls is indefensible and places political correctness above public safety. That is why I am putting you on notice that you are under investigation." "If you insist on endangering women and young girls in our state, in open defiance of the law, be assured you will face the consequences," Bailey warned. The individual in question joined the gym on July 28. By Aug. 2, Republican State Rep. Justin Sparks had begun holding press conferences outside the gym and gathering protesters to denounce the fitness center. Life Time spokesperson Natalie Bushaw said gym personnel asked for a copy of the individual's driver's license, which identified the person as female. Bushaw told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that a woman approached her in the sauna on July 29, and said she was a man and that she did not belong there. "The Missouri Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. Therefore, the member is to use Life Time's women's locker room," Bushaw declared in a statement. (Related: WOKE CULT: CVS tells employees to use whatever restroom or locker room "that is appropriate to the gender they identify with" – and other woke insanities.)

Missouri has no law about transgender people's access to public restrooms

Missouri has not legislated a law about transgender people's access to public restrooms, and the state's attorney general has restricted authority to push criminal charges which is usually left to local prosecutors. Bailey mentioned a 2015 Missouri appeals court ruling against a man convicted of misdemeanor trespassing in a women's gas station restroom. The man in that case hid in a women's gas station bathroom and smoked cigarettes for hours. He did not claim to be a woman or transgender, but he tried to disguise his voice when an employee requested him to stop smoking. "Appellant responded that he had to defecate 'really bad,'" the ruling stated. He was holding a lotion and a pornographic magazine. As for the Life Time Fitness case, Ellisville police said the agency is not investigating possible trespassing because the private gym granted the member permission to use the women's locker room. It is uncertain if property owners can be prosecuted under Missouri law for permitting trespassing on their property. Follow Transhumanism.news for more stories about transgender issues.
