Tish Hyman Confronts Eric Swalwell Over Transgender Access to Women’s Spaces at Campaign Event

Swalwell promised to protect women from harassment without giving a yes-or-no position on excluding transgender individuals.

Overview

  • At a weekend town hall in Orange County, Hyman pressed the California gubernatorial candidate to say whether he opposes men in women’s locker rooms and women’s sports.
  • Swalwell cited his record prosecuting crimes against women and said no woman should be harassed in a locker room, but he did not offer a direct answer.
  • Video shows Hyman urging a clear stance as audience members reacted, with Swalwell repeating that harassment is a crime and that he would protect women.
  • Hyman previously posted viral footage of a confrontation at a Los Angeles Gold’s Gym, saying she filed complaints and that the gym revoked her membership.
  • Reporting identifies the gym-goer in that video as Alexis Black, who pleaded guilty in 2022 to assaulting a spouse while living as Grant Freeman; Black denies Hyman’s locker-room allegations and says he was fully covered.
