Today, I was denied membership to an all-women's gym. Why? Because "men are not permitted to join". I am and have always been female. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the new gym I recently signed up for and started exercising in the men-filled weights room, despite being intimidated by them and the strange looks they were giving me. Workout over, I left the room and saw in front of me a door marked, "Women's weights room." Oh. FML
Today, I went to go to an aerobics class. Shen the instructor walked in, she went up to me and told me it was a women only class. I am a woman. FML
Today, as I'd been going to a gym with my wife as a guest on her account, I joined as a regular member. However, before I had time to go under my own membership, the gym closed down due to the coronavirus. FML
Today, my parents made me quit a school team that I absolutely loved, because women "aren't supposed to play sports." and were worried that if I stayed on the team, I'd develop a manly physique. FML
Today, I was at the gym when my dad thought it would be funny to push me into the ladies' changing room. Over a dozen naked women didn’t think it was funny. I was slapped twice, police were called, I’m now banned from my favourite gym for life, and even my wife is giving me dirty looks. FML
Today, as a male in his 40s, I went to "mixed" aerobics. I arrived late to find the entire female class had started intensely warming up. Within 5 minutes I pulled a calf muscle and left limping pathetically past a martial arts class. FML
Today, I was tricked into seeming like a sexist pig. A girl at the gym asked me to show her how to use a machine, so I did, then she started screaming at me to leave her alone. An hour later, I was all over the gym social media in a phone video heavily edited to make me look like a creepy gym bro. FML
Today, I found out my insurance company denied my claim because they had me marked down as "male" and yet also pregnant. I now have to prove to them that I'm actually a woman. FML
Today, I went to a club and my friends and I went up on the stage, then the security told me to get down and said the stage was only for girls. I'm 23. I'm a girl. FML
Today, I applied to a new gym. Now I have a hernia. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just show them id. They can't deny your a woman if it says so on your drivers license. And obviously your either not smart enough to do that or too sensitive to try, either way you don't need to post something this pathetic

Your name isnt Lady GaGa is it?
jfkeith31B 10
have you physically seen gaga's ****** and or penis. No? The "rumors" may not be true but why try to debunk a clever statement? Im actually surprised there are no Cher, Gaga, Rosie O'donnell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kathy Griffin, or Adam Lambert comments on here. Learn how to have fun.

What's this "always have been" business are you implying it's ok to discriminate against gender reassigned women? If not ok but if so then YDI...

No but a woman who's been a man could look a little bit masculine, changing your gender isn't as simple as *snap fingers* and, oooh, I'm a guy ! (:

Depends on the surgery done, age started and overall bone structure. I know several trans women who look hotter and more feminine then me- and I was born a woman. I'd of never guessed if they hadn't outed themselves to me.

59 - That was EXACTLY the point of my comment. You might want to reread it.

Actually the phrase "always have been a female" also works for transwomen. Their gender has never changed... It's the sex they alter.

OP made no statement at all that it would be "okay" to discriminate against anyone, so I don't see why you're making this out to be something it's not.

121 - tomato, tomato not everyone accepts that line of reasoning but I fully understand what you're saying. 166 - Please look up the word "imply" :)

On an almost entirely unrelated note, does anyone actually say "tomahto" instead of "tomato?"

Whip out your huge clit and explain why it's not a dick. You should have no problems after that.
