Overview
- At a town-hall-style forum, Hyman pressed Wiener on protecting women in single-sex spaces after her viral locker-room dispute at the Beverly Center gym in Los Angeles.
- Wiener responded that “trans women are women” and said the state must protect the safety of all women, prompting boos from parts of the audience as Hyman pushed back and later left the event.
- Hyman says she and other women filed written complaints and that her membership was revoked after she spoke out about a trans-identifying person in the women’s locker room.
- Reporting has identified the individual as Alexis Black, also known as Kyle Grant Freeman, who pleaded guilty in Ohio to a domestic-violence assault and was sentenced in 2022, according to court records.
- Coverage notes California civil-rights guidance permits access based on gender identity, the Beverly Center site is now operated by EōS Fitness, and the gym has not provided a detailed public account as key facts remain independently unverified.
