So it's women's rights until it offends a man. It's protect all women until a man exposes himself in a women's locker room. Welcome to the insanity of modern feminism. So last week, as you might have seen on social media, by now, a woman was working out in her gym in Los Angeles. And after her workout, before her workout, I'm not exactly sure what happened, she went into the locker room to change, and who walked in and started staring at her while she was completely butt naked? A biological. And I'm sure you're not surprised by now, but she was the one who was punished. And then when a female athlete spoke up about women's rights in sports, her team called her a transphobic racist. I mean, you seriously cannot make this stuff up. So obviously, it seems like we still have a lot of work to do in our culture. Let's just dive right into this story. I'm going to let this woman tell you what happened last week at her gym in Los Angeles.

Trish Hyman
I just had the worst experience ever at the gym, at Gold's Gym. And I think this is probably happening at gyms across America. We're like, trans women are going into the women's locker room and not really caring about how women feel about it. And it's really hurtful, yo. Like, how you gonna say you want to be a woman or that you are a woman, but you don't give a how women feel? Today I was naked in the locker room. I turned around and there's a man there. And boys like, boy clothes, lip gloss, standing there looking at me. I'm butt naked. So the first thing I think is, maybe there's a work doing here. Maybe I missed the sign. I say the word sir to say, sir, what are you doing in here? He goes, don't talk to me. I'm a woman. I have a right to be in here. Immediately, I'm pissed because I'm butt naked. I feel violated. I feel, like, weird. Like, I don't want to deal with this, right? How can you say you a woman or you want to be a woman and you don't care how women feel? That's nothing more manly than not giving a fuck about how women feel. I'd like to think, when is the cutoff point? Is it like, oh, you cut off your penis, you can come in here. Why aren't women making the laws? And if you really want to fucking be safe and feel good, why don't we just make trans restrooms? Because it ain't right.

Brett Cooper
I Mean, that would make sense. Like, nothing she said in that entire video was incorrect. Now, that was the video that she made and she posted after the altercation at Gold's Gym, which I believe is no longer a Gold Gym. It's technically an EOS gym, I'm not sure. But on the outside of the building, it says Gold Gym. So there's been some back and forth on that. Anyway, that's not even important, Brett. Let's move on. Anyway, the altercation took place. She was kicked out of the gym, she got in her car and she made this video. And this now happened about a week ago, but it has just now taken off on social media in the last 48 hours or so. So, again, you guys are probably saying seeing all of these videos, going off on X. And like I said, nothing she said in that video was wrong. She is totally valid in every single thing that she said and massive props to her for not just rolling over and ignoring and accepting the fact that this is her reality. Because it doesn't have to be. It shouldn't be the reality for her or any woman that is expecting privacy and security in a woman's locker room. Because she's right, it is not normal. It doesn't feel normal. It doesn't feel safe. And it feels like there is no end in sight for common sense, rational women who just want to have privacy and feel secure. And I want to make it clear, him being in the locker room was bad enough, but it wasn't just that he was in the locker room. It is how he was treating the women who were there in the first place. This woman, Trish, who is a rapper in la, by the way, she tweeted more about the incident over the last few days. And she said, this person told me he was a woman and demanded that I leave the women's locker room. He said, quote, straight women like dick. They're probably looking at me more than you. My jaw was on the floor when I read that tweet. The audacity. What does a woman's sexuality or who she's attracted to have to do with anything? Like a woman being attracted to men, Usually a specific man that she's in love with or in a relationship with does not mean that she wants to see your genitalia on display when she's just trying to wrap up a workout in a space that she believes is private and safe and secure. I mean, that is insanity. And the fact that he said that just shows how entitled he is and how secure he feels in his presence. In that locker room that he feels like he deserves to be there. And actually, it's not a him problem. It's an everybody else problem. It's a female problem that they need to work through. And they should actually be grateful that he's there so that they can stare at his dick. I mean, it is truly, it is truly reprehensible. Now, Trish went on, she commented on that post and she said, I was naked, scared and being yelled at. He called me a bitch. And in front of everyone, classy, classy, very feminine, delicate, lovely female behavior. A young woman was also in the bathroom. She froze up, completely traumatized, and later thanked me for being there with her. I've been told I could lose my music career if I speak out, but I don't care. And good for you. Like, genuinely good for you. Because at this point, the gloves are coming off everywhere. Like, good people know that this is insane. And regardless of what happens in your career, you will be on the right side of history. And there are millions of people now who have seen your story and, and are here to support you and are congratulating you and celebrating you for doing the right thing. Because that is genuinely what you did. And better yet, you will be able to sleep comfortably at night knowing that you spoke up, that you trusted your gut, that you did the right thing. And honestly, that's the main thing that matters in this life. I mean, imagine what could have happened. Like you could have gotten stuck in a sauna with him. Thankfully, that does not happen when I'm in my sauna blanket from Bon Charge. And seriously women, if you want to avoid the awkward, uncomfortable gym sauna experiences, you need to try a Bon Charge sauna blanket. It is transformative and, and to complete your at home wellness routine, you could even add in a Bon Charge red light face mask. Because this mask is incredible. I've had it for a few years now and I know those masks look so crazy, but trust me, it works. It uses medical grade red and near infrared light to support collagen production. It reduces inflammation and it helps your skin heal and glow naturally from the inside out. I use it while I'm reading, working, just relaxing. You just throw it on, it's 10 minutes. It's so, so easy to use. Hands free and your skin will look noticeably smoother, calmer and more radiant. It is honestly one of the easiest ways I have found to invest in my skin with without overcomplicating things or spending a ton of money on crazy products. And Bon Charge is a company that I genuinely believe in. You guys know I have worked with them for years now. They're not about hype. They are about real science backed wellness tech that actually works. And right now they are running their huge holiday sale so that you can save 20% off on your entire order.

Now speaking of tools you will actually use, do you guys have a Stopbox from Stopbox usa? Because if you own a handgun for self defense like I do, your storage likely fits into one of two extremely frustrating categories. Number one, it is either locked away, it is safe, but it is out of reach in an emergency or it is unsecured just around your house leaving it vulnerable. My friends over at Stopbox USA saw the problem and they designed a groundbreaking solution and that is their Stopbox Pro. With a Softbox Pro, you never have to choose between security and readiness ever again.

It is also battery free so you never have to worry about your lock not working. And for a limited time, our listeners are going to get 15% off at Stopbox when you use code. Brett Cooper at checkout and after you purchase it will probably ask you where you heard about them. Please support us and the show and tell them that we sent you. All right, so just jumping right back in here to Trisha's post. Somebody commented under that and said it just shows the pure lies that these men are an oppressed minority. They literally have the power to traumatize women with impunity. They have the laws supporting their fetishes. It is the patriarchy rebranded as inclusiveness. Exactly. These men just get to say that they're women. They get to put on lip gloss, a sports bra and some earrings and the world just bends over backwards to appease their every whim, their every demand, their every fetish. Because that honestly, is what this usually is at the expense of real biological women. And it is all done under the guise of inclusivity and even worse, even worse feminism. It's so insane when they Say, no, this is a women's rights issue. No, it's not. A women's right issue is protecting a woman's right to safety and privacy and. And security. Protecting them from the insanity that we are seeing play out in this story right now. Now, we talked about this in an episode last week. I actually think we talked about it in a couple of episodes. But something that disgusts me more than anything when it comes to these stories is when we have the videos of these altercations take place and other women and other individuals just stand around totally silent, totally complicit in all of this. Just like this video.

Trish Hyman
Men, grown men with big dicks in a women's locker room. That's why I'm getting kicked out. And I want to make sure the girls know.
- [08:47]
Brett Cooper
I mean, Trish was totally alone there. Nobody else wanted to engage. They all just kind of. I'm going to put in my headphones and ignore this crazy lady. She is not crazy. She's actually standing up for all of you. She is standing up for basic biological truth and reality. And everybody else just wanted to ignore it and walk away. Another altercation with this individual took place outside of the locker room. And it looks like to his credit union, a man did stand up for her. But I want you, before you watch this video, I want you to look out for the employee because the employee jumped in. But she only jumped in to protect the man in a sports bra.
- [09:19]
Trish Hyman
Did you tell me or not that women like to see dick asking you a question? Exactly. Exactly. Get out of the way now. No, now he knows how to be a man, right? Now he knows how to be a man. Stay out of the women's locker room. We don't want it. He needs to have his gym membership revoked with that shit. And the woman told you he assaulted me. The girl told already. We already filed reports. No, no, that's fine. I. The video. You can't get rid of me for this. I'm a woman, and I have every right to not want a man in the restroom when I'm naked.
- [09:51]
Brett Cooper
Okay? So I'm gonna pause right there because obviously you. You saw the female employee try to jump in defending the man. But what is so insane is at the end of the video, she is being pulled out. They're saying, ma', am, you need to leave. And he saunters right back into the women's locker room. That's what's happening at the end of this video. He's going, okay. He is prancing right back in to continue trampling on the rights and privacy and security of the women at this gym. And she seems to be the only person that realizes how insane this is. And listen, I'm sure that the gym has its policies and this employee is trying to do the right thing. Maybe, hopefully. Maybe I'm just being naive. I know that California has policies that protect trans people versus women, but women's compliance transfer, just in general in looking at the trajectory of this issue is a huge reason why we still have this problem in 2025. They bent the knee every single time. They compromised without end, trying to be kind and inclusive. I mean, they were trying to do a good thing, but their kindness continued to be taken advantage of. And now we are here. And now when women like Trish do speak up, they are the ones who get punished and ostracized. And this very same thing is happening right now in the Women's Soccer League. So Elizabeth Eddy is a female soccer player for the Angel City fc.

Trish Hyman
And.

Brett Cooper
And she wrote a piece for the New York Post last week about this exact issue, and it's titled, the National Women's Soccer League Must Adopt Gender Standards to Keep Growing. So in this article, she writes, addressing this challenge entails remembering why women's sports categories exist in the first place. Not to exclude, but to create a space where female athletes can physically compete on equal footing. Then she goes into the differences between men and women, the studies that show that men have a biological advantage. And she goes on, and she says, fairness and inclusion are core American values. Reasonable people can disagree about where to draw the line. But avoiding the conversation altogether by shutting out diverse views does not serve us. In fact, we owe it to our current and future female athletes to solve this. She goes on, and she says, I know from experience that the National Women's Soccer League is more than just a sports league. For many, dreams are coming true in real life, dreams that were impossible before my generation. I also understand that for many athletes and fans, seeing intersex and transgender athletes compete and dominate on sports's biggest stages also realizes a dream. How can we make an open arena reality for small and tragically marginalized minorities with nowhere else that may feel safe and inclusive to compete? I mean, guys, this is an incredibly balanced and fair piece. Many people, especially on the conservative side of this issue, would say that this was too fair, that she is giving too much in this argument. But this is a kind piece that is trying to address everyone's feelings, everyone's concerns. And guess what? Her league lost their damn mind. All she was asking Was, can we have a conversation? Let's not shut out people for their opinions. And this is how they responded. And of course, before you even ask, the first people to condemn her were, of course, her female teammates. Just watch.
- [12:30]
Angel City FC Teammate
Going into this, I'm a little bit nervous because I think it's a big job to represent your team and speak for your team. And not just that, speak for others who this will be important to. We've all obviously seen the article that was written in the New York Post earlier this week. So I really want to start off by saying that that article does not speak for this team in this locker room. I've had a lot of convos with my teammates in the past few days and they are hurt and they are harmed by the article and also they are disgusted by some of the things that were said in the article. And it's really important for me to say that. And we don't agree with the things written for a plethora of reasons, but mostly the undertones come across as transphobic and racist as well.
- [13:18]
Brett Cooper
Transphobic and racist because the individual in question, just one individual in question, even though Elizabeth was talking about the issue at large, is an African American biological man. And because of that, she is a racist transphobe. Even though in the piece she was saying, can we just have a conversation? Even though in the piece she said, I understand the need for a space for everyone to be able to compete, for everyone to be able to have their dreams realized because of that. Still, even though she said that they condemned her and that's why it's so important that you can't give them an inch because they will take a mile. They will twist your words no matter what you do. So you might as well just be honest and say exactly what you think, because at the end of the day, people are going to say what they're going to say. They're going to condemn you, even if they are sisters to you, even if you spend all of this time in the locker room on the field training with them, they will turn on you on a dime. I mean, it's like. It's laughable, but it's so expected at this point. One person in the comment section took the words out of my mouth and said, you should be ashamed of yourself for throwing your own player and teammate under the bus, for simply showing one courage. She should be applauded for standing up for women's rights. And you do the opposite. The absolute bare minimum you could have done was say everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I mean, that's basically what happened with the Kansas City Chiefs when Harrison Butker made his now infamous graduation speech a couple of years ago and Andy Rose, Reed and the team and the players all got out there and they said, listen, we love him. He's allowed to think whatever he wants to think. We're just gonna focus on playing. That would have been a good move, as this commenter is saying, that's the bare minimum. But even that would have been a coward move. But you had to take it a step further. You are a woke mob against your own people and it is absolutely disgusting. Couldn't have said it better myself. And then this one, I'm sorry was just too good not to share this commenter said. Why are so many young women such intellectual midgets, unable to deal with such sexual, simple binary reality, male versus female. Why are so many young women such abject cowards, refusing to stand up for what is right? Why are so many women such pathetic, pandering single pants? Unfortunately, I say this as a young woman. Unfortunately, this commenter is asking valid questions based on our society, based on what we're seeing on social media and in the world. He is asking a very good question. Like even the women that are being elected into office are not protecting women, as Trish and Elizabeth both said. And this was on full display and at a recent debate in Virginia during the governor's election. Just listen to this response from the Democrat candidate.
- [15:26]
Trish Hyman
And that's why I'm asking my opponent.
- [15:28]
Brett Cooper
If your little girl comes home and.
- [15:30]
Trish Hyman
Said she was forced to undress in a locker room with a biological boy, what would you say? She's crying. What would you say? Would you. Are you not going to answer?
- [15:42]
Brett Cooper
Nothing. She says nothing. It is complete and utter silence. She does not care. She's looking into the abyss. I'm not going to even involve myself. What? That is a real concern. As a mother, are you not thinking through? Are you not having those conversations with your teenage daughter? That is the kind of response that women who stand up to this nonsense have come to expect. Like that is the bare minimum. Just not caring, complete ambivalence, just ignoring all of it. But retaliation these days is far more likely. Like what Elizabeth Eddy is facing from her team. Or Trish literally getting escorted out of the gym and having her membership canceled. And based on what we know, based on what Trish is saying, the biological man in question, well, of course his gym membership is totally fine, she tweeted. And she said Gold's Gym terminated my membership after the man was Escorted out by the police. They then had me escorted out by officers afterwards. It was embarrassing. I left, but not before making sure that everyone knew that they were allowing men in the locker room. Now, as I said, this whole thing happened back in October, about a week ago. It's going viral. Right now. People are pulling Trish's posts from TikTok and one of the most recent videos that she uploaded. I think just really hit the nail on the head about what we need to do moving forward with this issue. Just listen.
- [16:47]
Trish Hyman
I'm just a woman who's standing up for women's rights, and I don't give a fuck what you are. If you're a Republican, a Democrat, I don't care if you support Trump or Kamala. I don't give a fuck. All I need is people to come together, for one thing is to help women to save women. Women, women. Not fucking men with dicks and dresses. Women. Okay?
- [17:08]
Brett Cooper
Really simple. It is so incredibly simple. It's not men who show up to the gym in sports bras and earrings and lip gloss. That does not make you a woman. I know that you guys have tried to boil down womanhood into some kind of caricature, into a costume that you can just easily put on, but biology, reality does not work like that. And a lot of women, not all of them, but a lot of women, are fed up and they are no longer being silent. And Trisha's absolutely right. This should be a unifying issue. I actually believe that this can be and is a unifying issue. Based on polling, the majority of Americans believe that men should not be in women's sports, that men should not be invading women's private spaces. And it's interesting and comical to me how the left always says that conservatives hate women, that we're so patriarchal, that we're so backwards and awful to women, that we hate women's rights. Yet it seems that usually it's conservative women taking a beating for this issue. Meanwhile, the Democrats, the feminists, the women's rights advocates, they stay silent time and time again, even when it is a black lesbian friend from LA who is calling out for their help. And usually I don't care about somebody's race or sexual identity, but it's so integral to the story because it really is just the comical cherry on top, like, due to the current thing, due to who is the most oppressed in our society right now. Trish, who by the left's own standards is a minority and a protected class, is still pushed to the side. She's not marginalized enough right now. And therefore her feelings do not matter because she has offended the more marginalized group. Group at this time, like, it is genuinely bonkers. It makes no sense. The rationality does not exist, to be honest. And yet this is the world that we live in now. We talked about this a couple of weeks ago, but there are studies that are showing that transgenderism is on a decline, especially for my generation. And I am beyond thrilled to hear that. Not for any, like, transphobic reason, obviously, but because that means that for my generation, young people, they are probably happier, they're probably more confident and comfortable in their skins, which is a net positive, positive for everyone. And also because hopefully one day, because of that trend, because it's on a downward trajectory, that means we will have even more people standing up against this insane, backwards ideology, because that is what we need. You cannot claim to protect women and love women and then shame them for their concerns and silence them for their worries. You cannot create layers of marginalized, victimized, oppressed groups and then ignore them and brush them aside for the curse thing. It genuinely does not make sense. And I am sure, in fact, I know that there are a lot of people out there who believe genuinely that men can be women and they want to support this craziness. They believe in it with all of their heart and soul. But for a lot of people, I think that they just turned a blind eye and roll over out of genuine fear. And that is what needs to end. We need more Trish Hyman's. We need more Elizabeth Eddys. And so, in sharing their stories and sharing this insanity, I hope they left you feeling inspired and. And empowered today, because they certainly did that for me.
