Life Time Fitness ‘trans’ pandering makes chaos and tragedy inevitable

The punishment for flattery is far greater than the supposed reward.

That’s the lesson we should learn from the way the state of Missouri and a Life Time Fitness club treated Eris Discordia Montano, a 52-year-old divorced father of one who now identifies as a woman.

Missouri was the first to cave, bowing to the LGBTQIA+ Alphabet Mafia and giving Montano a driver’s license that classified him as a woman. Montano holds a bat and two baseballs between his legs. He still uses them in a traditional manner. He identifies as a lesbian.

Two weeks ago, Montano signed up for a membership at a Life Time Fitness in the suburbs just outside St. Louis. Following the state’s lead, the health club continued to flatter, instructing staff to treat Montano as a woman. Three days later, on July 29, Montano began strutting around the indoor pool area in a royal blue bikini and showering, shaving and doing his makeup in the women’s locker room.

Eventually he met Cindy Zykan, who politely informed Montano, “Excuse me, I think you belong in the men’s locker room.”

Montano pulled up his T-shirt, grabbed his man boobs, shook them in Zykan’s face and replied, “These don’t belong in the men’s locker room.”

Pandering has an astronomical price. America is facing a pandering pandemic that we must address. It makes us all vulnerable.

Not to be outdone, Zykan replied, “You have a penis, and it should be in a man’s locker room.”

The exchange set off 10 days (and counting) of chaos in Ellisville, Missouri. Life Time Fitness management defended their decision to let Montano strip, shower, and groom with women and children. Montano, who lives in his car, spent the next week doing “office work” at the gym from about 9 a.m. until the early evening. Gym members staged protests in the parking lot.

Montano responded by posting threats to harm himself and others on his social media platforms. He posted pictures of weapons. He cryptically posted: “Is the minor inconvenience of asking someone to give you space worth the risk of killing them instead.”

He specifically took aim at Cindy Zykan, posting: “I guess if you’re going to be harassed and harassed, it might as well be by a villain like Cindy Zykan. I mean, yeah, that last name sounds like a cold medicine, but I’m sure she’ll make a great dumb villain in the autobiography.”

The social media posts forced Life Time Fitness to revoke Montano’s membership. Police officers physically removed him from the club on Monday. A day later, Montano drove to Zykan’s home, where her husband, Andrew, a former Marine, saw Montano’s Jeep Wrangler idling on their street. He ran inside, locked his wife in a bathroom, grabbed his gun and positioned himself inside his home, ready to defend himself.

“We don’t play anymore,” Andrew told me in a phone interview. “He’s gone from being a keyboard warrior to figuring out where we live. This is serious.”

“It’s gone up a notch,” Cindy added. “Now I’m scared for you.”

How did we get here? How did Andrew and Cindy Zykan come into the sights of a recently divorced, female-identifying man whose ex-wife was an employee of Life Time Fitness?

Flattery.

We have made transvestites believe that they have the right to undress, shower, and defecate next to women and children. We have raised their expectations, which increases their sense of victimhood, oppression, and anger. Plumbing has always been the defining factor in using the bathroom. Here come the bats and balls. There come the mittens and gloves. There used to be a universal objective standard. Now it is all subjective and based on feelings.

We are forced to play along with the delusions of the mentally ill. We flatter. This flattery has made the gender dysphoric quite dangerous. They are prepared to die and kill unless we all join them in their delusions.

Men can get pregnant. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg jumped into a hospital bed with his “husband” after a woman they paid gave birth to a baby. This is “normal” behavior. We appointed a woman to the Supreme Court who refused to define what a woman is, claiming that only biologists could articulate something so complex. And yet J.D. Vance is “weird.”

The punishment for flattery is chaos.

If Stevie Wonder identifies as a race car driver, should we give him a driver’s license? Should we put Stevie on pole at the Daytona 500 in the name of diversity, equity, and inclusion?

The flattery is endless.

We tell women they don’t need men, despite the fact that men are responsible for almost every technological advancement in history. We tell women they are victims of toxic masculinity, despite the fact that men have taken on roles in society that shorten our lifespans by six or seven years compared to women.

We tell Black people that systemic racism is the root cause of our economic and educational shortcomings, but the truth is that rejecting Biblical values, especially traditional marriage, is at the root of our failure.

Pandering has an astronomical price. America is facing a pandering pandemic that we must address. It makes us all vulnerable.

We’ve spent three years coddling Joe Biden, pretending his cognitive decline wasn’t obvious. No one wants to tell Biden’s South Asian, Jamaican successor that she’s incompetent and a pawn to promote World War III.

We would rather complain about a tragedy than prevent one from happening. No one could be surprised if Eris Discordia Montano were involved in a tragedy in Ellisville, Missouri. Our flattery made it inevitable.
