As of Thursday, Planet Fitness locations in 11 states had received nearly 50 bomb threats since a female member had her membership terminated for taking a photograph of a biological male identifying as a transgender woman who was allegedly shaving in the women’s locker room.

While no bombs have been found, the threats have forced dozens of facilities to evacuate as a precaution.
