Fired MSNBC Star Joy Reid Says That She’d ‘Freak Out, ’ Complain if She Saw a Trans Person’s ‘Pee Pee’ in the Women’s Locker Room​

The fired MSNBC host, Joy Reid, says she would “freak out” and complain to her gym’s management if she saw a “naked man” in the women’s locker room, and is suggesting that there should be “gender neutral” locker rooms.

By “naked man,” Ms. Reid was referring to a biological man who identifies as a woman and openly disrobes in a private women’s space.

During a recent episode of her “Reid This Reid That” podcast, far left firebrand and her cousin, the TV news personality Jacque Reid, discussed the issue of biological men who identify as transgender using women’s locker rooms. The segment centered on a claim by a Los Angeles-based musician, Tish Hyman, who said that her membership at a Gold’s Gym location was canceled after she complained about the presence of a biological male in the women’s locker room.

Ms. Hyman, like the Reid cousins, is a black woman. Her stand against a biological man in a women’s locker room has struck a chord among some women liberals who had heretofore been fearful of expressing opposition to allowing men into women’s

Joy Reid said she would be “disturbed” and “alarmed” if she saw a “naked man” in her locker room.

“I would be disturbed … I would be alarmed. I’m alarmed enough when I see a woman with her dangling boobies,” Ms. Reid said. “If I saw a penis in the ladies’ locker room, I would freak out, too.”

She then claimed she has “nothing against trans [people].”

“What [I’m] saying is if I turn around and I see a pee pee, a penis in front of me inside of the room, I would probably go to management and say, ‘Wait a minute. Why is there a naked man in this room?’” Ms. Reid said.

my biggest takeaway from this is why the hell is tish hyman working out at a golds gym? she should be a multimillionaire.

stop slumming it at a gym that costs $15/mo.

The Hard-Left Shooters Leading a Gun Culture Revolution

Earlier this year, I attended a shooting competition for queer, often trans, very online misfits. Then Charlie Kirk was killed.

A long and interesting read.

Ironically (or perhaps not) one of the best ways to spur gun control in this country would be for the far left types to start buying all the guns.

I'm expecting as we get closer to the midterms that trump and the Republicans are going to ramp up their attacks on transpeople

Transphobia was their best issue last cycle. It's a guarantee.

 

[Zoo_View]

Transphobia, immigrants, crime, Islamophobia, Biden Economy/Inflation (this won’t work because it’ll be two years into Trump)…..

Fear might.

Repressing the vote might.

Looks like the pendulum is starting to swing the other way ...

First major medical group opposes gender transition surgeries for youth​

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons said doctors should delay gender-related surgeries until age 19, citing “insufficient evidence” that benefits outweigh risks.

as always, republican politics says one thing while the science says another. yet another study showing that trans women do not have an appreciable athletic advantage, given the hormone therapy that comes with transition. Trans athletes may not have fitness advantage in women’s sport, landmark study finds

Seriously, plastic surgeons? Really?

If medicine was considered to be auto repair, they'd be the body shop. Not someone you'd trust to work on the engine, transmission and important working parts.

That’s a little unfair.

A tiny fraction of such surgeons do great work after accidents, burns, cancer surgeries that necessitate body/face altering surgery, etc.

There are those Mar-a-Lago plastic surgeons…..

I've mentioned hormone treatment previously. The question is at what point does the male become physically comparable to females that there isn't an advantage. There's also the question of male physical attributes that aren't negated by hormone treatment.

You know, I think these are all good points. I also think those questions are best answered by the governing bodies of each and every sport because it's likely going to differ. I also think that the government should stay the fuck out of that and , more particularly, other people's medical issues.

Agree.

Unless it's a state signing a law requiring public schools to allow boys in girl's sports, right?

and , more particularly, other people's medical issues.

Unless the government is paying for the medical treatment or for transition surgery for prison inmates, of course.

Case 1-Nope, still up to the ruling body of the sport. The state isn't qualified to judge and has no real interest.

Case 2-Ask Trump's first administration. As long as it's the law, it's the law.
