Tish Hyman, a prominent advocate for women’s rights, has recently generated headlines following an unsettling incident at Gold’s Gym. Hyman, a black lesbian, shared her harrowing experience on social media after confronting a biological male in the women’s locker room. This encounter left her feeling vulnerable and frightened, as she recounted feeling exposed when a man, dressed in what she described as “boy clothes” and lip gloss, confronted her.
During this incident, Hyman claimed the individual insisted he was a woman and demanded she exit the women’s locker room, stating, “Straight women like dick, and they’re probably looking at me more than you.” The gym staff later informed her they were powerless to intervene due to existing laws. Hyman expressed her distress, saying, “I was naked, scared, and being yelled at. He called me a bitch in front of everyone.” This remarkable display of aggression culminated in her membership being revoked after she stood her ground against this man.
The situation drew further attention when Hyman faced off with Democrat Representative Eric Swalwell, a candidate for governor of California. Her frustration with Swalwell’s refusal to directly address her concerns about men using women’s locker rooms was palpable. “Answer straight! Are you against men in the women’s locker rooms and sports?!” she pressed him. Swalwell’s failure to deliver a clear response only amplified her anger.
Hyman’s words during this confrontation reflect a broader concern that resonates with many. “It’s happening all over America! There are 45 men in the women’s prisons right now! Raping them! Picking them out like chicken!” Her comments emphasized the perceived risks that come with allowing biological males into female spaces. Hyman insisted that “trans men are not women” and expressed a need for the conversation to focus on the safety and rights of women.
In a striking exchange, she reminded Swalwell that the issue transcends politics: “So I don’t care if you’re on the Democrat side, the Republican side, we need to be on the women’s side, people!” Hyman’s confrontations did not end there; she later challenged another political figure, State Senator Scott Wiener, against a backdrop of controversial legislation he has supported regarding minors and gender-related surgical procedures.
Hyman’s refusal to remain silent in the face of what she perceives as a growing threat to women’s rights serves as a rallying cry for others who share her concerns. “I’m a black lesbian!” she asserted while addressing Wiener, reinforcing her identity as she advocated against what she believes is an erosion of women’s spaces and rights. As these discussions unfold publicly, Hyman stands firm, asserting loudly and clearly that the safety and dignity of women must come first in these debates.
