A British woman who opened a gym specifically for women is now taking to social media to blast “trans” activists who she says are targeting her for excluding gender-deluded men who think they’re women for participating at her sex-specific businesses.
"In 2021, I made a tweet reference to my women’s-only gym, The Girls Spot, and being trans-inclusive,” Natalie Barnett said in a new video posted to social media, referencing the now-four-year-old announcement of her new workout space in South West London, which she'd originally said would be open to both women and trans-identifying men.

The Girls Spot operates as a female-only gym for biological women, tackling harassment, sexual assault & violence that women face inside the gym.

Barnett then explains that when she initially announced her plans to launch a gym for women, she hadn’t come up with a full business plan or what such an establishment would look like.
“We are now four years later, and I’ve had a great deal of time to figure that out,” she says. “The Girls Spot gym exists as a safe space for women, because women are facing gym harassment, sexual assault, and sexual violence inside of gyms. And I know that because I am a victim of it.”
Barnett says many women who come to her gym are specifically looking for a women’s only space because of past negative experiences or sexual-related trauma.
She goes on to say that while her gym is a place for working out and general physical fitness, they have also begun providing self-defense classes for women, including martial arts and boxing. They also offer classes on women’s health, including understanding the female reproductive cycle and how it affects women’s wellness, “all of which occur to biological women,” she explains. As part of this effort, she says she's now changing her business' policy to include only biological women, rather than anyone who simple "identifies" as a woman.

“As the owner of the gym, it is very important to make it clear how my women’s-only gym will be operating, and it will be operating as a single-sex space for biological women,” she says, adding, “It is imperative that I stick to the vision and the mission and ensure that these women feel safe.”
The video posted to X immediately garnered an avalanche of irate commenters accusing Barnett of discrimination, claiming that gender-deluded men are just as likely to be victims of rape as women, and falsely stating that “trans women” don’t sexually assault people (which, frankly, simply isn’t true - see here, here, here…).
In the comments responding to people angry at her lack of “inclusion,” Barnett stated, “I believe trans women and other individuals deserve safe spaces too," but that her gym simply isn’t that space.
While maintaining a gym specifically for women should be just about the least controversial thing in the world, doing so in a culture that demands we all ignore science to cater to crossdressing men takes more courage that it should.
“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling has become a favorite target of the LGBTQ mafia for standing firm on the biological reality that men cannot become women, and has been forced to defend her women’s-only charity for sex abuse victims from trans-identifying men who demand their own inclusion, which would defeat the very purpose of a sex-specific haven for traumatized women looking to get space away from men.
But hey, what is a rape victim's PTSD compared to the feelings of a mentally ill man who wants to wear fake eyelashes, am I right?
