Some of the most obnoxious trans haters out there hail from a branch of feminism that denies the existence of trans women. Germaine Greer for example has said things about trans women that wouldn't sound out of place at the 700 Club.

Don't most people kind of keep their eyes down in a locker room anyway. There is always at least one person running around naked that only Rosanna Rosanna Danna could love. And the rest of us just want to get home and bleach our eyes. Now maybe if it was a locker room full evangelical buddhists trying to convert me to their demonic religion I might be nervous (#ThanksPat) but otherwise what is the big deal?

Welllll ..... the Brit approach is generally 'judgment' for when it's used in a legal context, and 'judgement' for every other occasion. Can't say fairer than that. :)

Yes, Brits *do* use an 'e' in judgement, but spell the word *without* an 'e' when it is used in a legal context (ie court reports etc). Signed, a formal legal editor.

Planet Fitness is a gimmick. Pizza and tanning booths? Dirt cheap prices and dorky mottos? Icky.

Judgment is in transition back to its birth-spelling. Surgical addition of the 'e' will require time and the indulgence of a supportive community. However, in the mean time, the spelling likely be surprising and perhaps discomfiting to some readers. The shared values of an inclusive society sometimes requires us to tolerate unusual or even surprising appearances in order to facilitate full happiness for all.

Judgement thanks you for your support.
