In Gastonia, North Carolina, a man named Christopher Allan Miller was arrested by the police for taking off all his clothes in a ladies’ locker room at a gym called Planet Fitness. The incident happened on South New Hope Road last Thursday. Some people said that Miller asked women in the locker room to put lotion on him and take a shower together, all while claiming that he was a woman. This made some gym members worried, and one woman even called 911 for help. Miller was charged with indecent exposure to a minor and is now in police custody.
The gym where this happened has a policy that allows people to use the locker room that corresponds to the gender they identify with. But some people think Miller misused this policy. The woman who called 911 said that Miller was completely naked and wouldn’t leave the restroom. She also mentioned that he was showing them his private parts. This made other gym members uncomfortable and led to his arrest.
