Black Lesbian Gives Dem Rep Khanna an Earful Over His Men in Women’s Locker Room Stance [WATCH]

Singer Tish Hyman directly challenged Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) during a recent town hall, confronting him over his support for policies that allow men who identify as women to access women’s bathrooms and locker rooms.

Hyman, who is based in Los Angeles and identifies as a lesbian, appeared at the event weeks after an incident at her gym that resulted in her being banned from the facility.

Hyman was removed from the gym after objecting to a man entering the women’s locker room.

Video from the confrontation circulated widely online, showing Hyman telling the individual, “Stay out of the women’s locker room. We don’t want it!”

She also posted footage of the incident on her Instagram account, along with comments explaining that she and other women had repeatedly notified gym staff.

“Multiple women and I have repeatedly made written reports on this man for coming into our women’s locker room, harassing us, and the gym staff has done absolutely nothing!!” she wrote.

“He has disrespected me multiple times, and I’ve only been ignored when I quietly reported it. But today I made noise!!”

This Could Be the Most Important Video Gun Owners Watch All Year

In the aftermath of the gym dispute, reports surfaced identifying the man as Alexis Black, who had been accused of assaulting his ex-wife prior to transitioning.

Hyman previously confronted Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and State Senator Scott Wiener on similar issues.

At Khanna’s town hall, she questioned him over a Supreme Court amicus brief he supported, which argued that prohibiting males from entering female sports and locker rooms could lead to invasive “general checks.”

“You seem to care about women. But in your recent Supreme Court Amicus, brief, you warn that banning males from female sports and locker rooms will lead to harassment of the girls through invasive general checks. But in the 26 states with these laws, that has never happened,” Hyman said.

She then described her own experience at the gym.

“Here in California, women, including myself, are being harassed by naked men in our locker rooms. In my case, the man in my locker room was a convicted domestic abuser, who broke his wife’s jaw so badly she needs surgery,” she said.

“Why issue a sensational warning about hypothetical general checks when the real harassment is happening right here under current laws that allow men to self ID into our spaces?”

Khanna responded by expressing concern for what Hyman experienced but maintained his position on access to bathrooms and locker rooms.

“The problem with the example that you point out is that if somebody was committing domestic violence or harassing, they should be prosecuted,” he said.

“That is unacceptable. But that, has nothing to do, in my view, with someone who is transgender and who identifies as a woman saying that they can be using the locker room or the bathroom, which they identify with. That is their right. Now, if that person is harassing or threat, then of course they need to be prosecuted.”

Hyman restated her broader objection and addressed the audience.

“State law is not protecting any of the women in here,” she said.

“And I’m not Democrat or Republican. I am a woman who is a lesbian, who was harassed in a locker room. And I’m telling you right now that a lot of this is going on and you need to do something about it. The Republicans will back you on it because I hear that they’ve been fighting about this for a long time.”

She continued, “It’s the Democrats that need to do something about this law. Trans are not women. They are men. Yet their penis is intact and they’re in women’s prisons right now, raping and killing them and it’s going on in silence. This is going to stop with me.”

“That is their right.”

Rep @RoKhanna defends men entering women’s spaces.

He also claims the trans-identified male domestic abuser @listen2tish encountered “has nothing to do with someone who is trans.” Explain that one. ‍♀️
