    Grammy-nominated lesbian singer Tish Hyman recently went viral for sharing a heated altercation she had with Alexis Black at a Gold’s Gym in Los Angeles.

    “Today I was nak*d in the locker room. I turn around, and there’s a man there in boy clothes, lip gloss, standing there looking at me. I’m b*tt nak*d,” she said in one viral video.

    The tension between Tish and Alexis led to both of them reportedly being escorted out of the gym by police officers.

    Both of their memberships were revoked.

    “I’m a lesbian. I’ve been a lesbian my whole life. I treat people how I want to be treated regardless of whatever they [sic] s**ual orientation is or whatever they decide,” she said in her rant after losing her gym membership.

    “Men are men, women are women. That’s it,” the lesbian singer-songwriter declared online

    In one of her latest posts, the singer-songwriter doubled down on her views on gender and said, “Men are men, women are women. That’s it.”

    “Transsexuals won’t work y’all. It won’t work … women are women and men are men, and it just has to stop,” she said.

    She claimed she did her research and tried to “rationalize” and “have some empathy,” but “it doesn’t work.”

    “Right now, millions of women all around America are unprotected by law,” she said in the video. “These men can go into restrooms and say that they’re women and get in there. It’s over. It just has to stop.”

    Some felt her views were transphobic, with one asking her to “respect everyone’s identity and choices.”

    “You realise you are railing against something that occurs naturally, right?” another asked.

    “Trans folks have existed since the dawn of time in every culture and there are hundreds of millions worldwide. pretending they don’t exist because you are uncomfortable with the topic will get you nowhere… but we get it, it’s a grift now… so you’ll milk this bullsh**” said another.

    Netizens found her opinions to be disrespectful towards transgender people

    “Six months ago you hardly used Twitter. 10 likes on a post. now that you’re doing the anti-trans grift… You are milking it. Getting that Elon bot power. Now, if you want to have a discussion about private changing stalls, let’s do it. Saying trans people don’t exist is bs,” read another comment.

    Others sided with Tish and said, “Keep fighting Tish. We have your back.”

    “Tish is spot on. Protecting women’s spaces is about ensuring safety and privacy. This isn’t up for debate,” said another.

    The singer-songwriter recently appeared on Fox News and said, “men can say they identify [as a] woman” to access entry into spaces that should be “women’s-only.”

    “Right now, women all across America are unprotected,” she claimed.

    Alexis Black acknowledged the controversy and said she began “using hormones” for her transition earlier this year

    The fellow gym-goer, Alexis Black, addressed the controversy in an interview with TMZ and said, “being trans is normal.”

    “There are 10 species of animals that do it. But about the bathroom, am I entitled to it? I know that I’m a woman,” she said.

    Alexis said she began “using hormones” for her transition in February this year.

    “I actually relinquished that information to her, about, you know, name change, and it says female on my ID, and hormones, and I mean, I’m registered as a female with the gym,” she added.

    Before her transition, Alexis pleaded guilty to beating up her ex-wife and giving her a fractured jaw

    After the controversy flared up, reports revealed that 31-year-old Alexis was once convicted of both domestic violence and dr** trafficking in the past.

    Formerly known as Kyle Grant Freeman, Alexis was sentenced to one year in Ohio prison in 2022 for beating her ex-wife.

    The incident saw Alexis breaking the ex-wife’s jaw and leaving her needing immediate surgery.

    “Kyle Grant Freeman caused serious physical harm to the victim,” court documents said. “The victim suffered a compound fractured mandible, which resulted in her needing surgery.”

    When Alexis began transitioning earlier this year, she chose the same name her ex-wife had.

    Alexis slammed Tish’s demand for a separate restroom or locker room for transgender individuals.

    “You’re not going to put a trans woman with a trans man just because we’re trans,” she told TMZ. “That seems like a whole new envelope of discrimination.”

    Alexis took her ex-wife’s name when they began transitioning this year

    A post shared by Tish Hyman (@listen2tish)

    Crimes against members of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies are frequently reported.

    GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), an LGBTQ+ media advocacy organization), has recorded more than 1,850 incidents of anti-LGBTQ+ violence, including bomb threats to gender-affirming healthcare providers and children’s hospitals since the beginning of 2022.

    The Non-profit, Everytown for Gun Safety, also recorded that the number of transgender individuals who lost their lives to homicides in the US almost doubled between 2017 and 2021.

    “Bias-motivated crimes are a real, frightening problem in the United States, and LGBTQ+ people continue to be targeted because of who they are,” Everytown was quoted as saying in their report.

    Netizens had strong reactions to Tish’s latest comments

    From the OP: "Formerly known as Kyle Grant Freeman, Alexis was sentenced to one year in Ohio prison in 2022 for beating her ex-wife.

Leaving aside everything concerning the gym, that paragraph alone shows exactly what a vile, contemptuous, misogynist POS he truly is. That is a man who delights in hurting and humiliating women, and anybody who defends him is as bad as he is.

    A woman complained because a person with an erect p***s was behaving in a s*xually inappropriate and harassing way in a public changing room. That individual turned out to be a convicted s** offender. We really need to stop this trend of s*xual predators being able to use the phrase “I identify as a woman” as a get out of jail free card for predatory behaviour. If a gay man went into a men’s locker room and exposed himself, and if turned out he was a convicted predator, he’d be kicked out and banned.

    Yes, I could not agree more. This very important detail is constantly dismissed. If there was a way to truly identify a transgender, then coming into women's area would be find but there is not. Women and girls should not have to risk their safety for trans-women.

    That's not entirely true. If they're fully transsexual, they can live as women - obviously there's things they can't do, but there are some born and bred biological women who can't either, so I don't think it's right to say 100% you always are what you're born. I have known someone who transitioned fully and physically because of, I quote, "what I felt inside". For all practical purposes they were the same as a post-menopausal woman. It's another level from those who only identify as a woman, which has yet to be quantified or described in a way that everyone agrees with.

    This w****r takes offence at having to share a restroom with trans males. However as a hetero female I'm not allowed to protest sharing a restroom with HIM. Gender's not the issue here. It's the effen entitlement. Tsek. For the record no one disputes sexual violence or offences. There are laws regarding for a reason. Farting against thunder there.

    Let me get this straight. A man breaks his wife’s jaw, gets out of prison after only one year, states that he is a woman, chooses the name of his victim, and goes on to harass women in a gym? And the “netizens” are actually supporting this vile creep, applauding this violent, a*****e character? Has the world completely gone out of its mind?

    Downvoted this story because it's not what I want to read about on BP. News about nastiness isn't entertaining - it's just horrible. 🤢

    Here we have a person with a history of assaultimg women who makes other people uncomfortable by their behaviour,. Kicking them out is the proper thing to do. Still I can't see how the acts of this sick@ would lead to denying the existence of trans people and calling them by their assigned gender at birth. Maybe this person here identifies as a wonan, I don't care. She"s intimidsting others, and I don't think others would have to accept this if she was born with a vul.va. We're perfectly capable of assigning behaviour to a person rather than a shape of genitals at birth.
