Overview
- On her Reid This Reid That podcast, Joy Reid said she would be alarmed if she saw a penis in a women’s locker room and would report it to management.
- Reid emphasized that her reaction was not intended as an attack on transgender people, describing it as discomfort with nudity and concern for safety and privacy.
- She floated gender‑neutral facilities as an option, saying, “Give people the choice.”
- The discussion followed musician Tish Hyman’s Nov. 2 video from Gold’s Gym Beverly Center in Los Angeles, where she alleged a person with male genitalia used the women’s locker room and said her membership was later canceled.
- Right‑leaning outlets amplified Reid’s remarks and Hyman’s claims, while the articles provided no independent verification of the membership termination or new official response from the gym.
