(DCNF)—Los Angeles-based musician Tish Hyman fired back at a crowd that tried to boo her after she said transgender women aren’t women, while pressing Democratic California Sen. Scott Wiener to address biological women’s safety.
Hyman posted a video Tuesday across her social media accounts showing an exchange she had with Wiener as he took part in a town hall-style event. Explaining that she’d recently had an altercation with a biological male in the women’s locker room at Gold’s Gym Beverly Center on Nov. 2, Hyman said she’s “deeply concerned about women’s safety in our female-only spaces.”
“What would you say to women who are seeking assurance that their safety will be protected from men who, by California law, can self-ID as women in women-only spaces, sir? Please tell me,” Hyman asked.
“Yeah, so we want, I mean, everyone to be safe. We also know that we have trans people, both men and women, who are men and women,” Wiener responded. “So if you’re a trans woman, [they] are women.”
While Hyman applauded the Democrat lawmaker for some of the work he’s done, she pressed him on his support for bills that have been “dangerous for women and young children” within once women-only spaces.
“I’m telling you, as a woman, first and foremost, that this is dangerous,” Hyman continued. “I want to support you. I have millions of people behind me watching this right now. We want to know, are you going to protect women?”
“Not trans women, women, trans women are a different thing,” Hyman added as a crowd member could be heard beginning to push back.
A member of the audience could be heard off-camera pushing back against Hyman, responding, “Trans women are women.”

“So if there’s another black woman in here who wants to tell me how they feel, please join in. But all of you are not. I don’t know who you are, what you are, but I’m a lesbian,” Hyman said. “I’m telling you right now, men are harassing women in the locker room.”
Wiener then said he appreciated her perspective and apologized for the assaults she experienced. While emphasizing that the safety of “all women” must be protected, the Democrat lawmaker added that “trans women are also brutalized in this country.”
Attempting to broaden his point, Wiener included “women and cisgender women” as groups who face violence, saying all categories deserve protection.
In a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation, Hyman told the outlet that the exchange with Wiener wasn’t about politics.
“My exchange with Senator Wiener wasn’t about politics — it was about accountability. Women deserve to have their safety and privacy respected without being dismissed or labeled for speaking the truth. I hope our leaders start listening to women instead of trying to silence them,” Hyman said.
Weiner’s office did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.
In her Nov. 2 video posted to social media, Hyman recorded an altercation with a biological man identifying as a transgender woman who had entered the women’s locker room.
Hyman said the individual allegedly assaulted her multiple times, with their final encounter beginning when he came up behind her and called her a “bitch” in a deep, angry voice.
California law allows individuals to use restrooms consistent with their
“gender identity” in both private and public spaces. According to the ACLU of Southern California, the Unruh Civil Rights Act protects individuals using facilities in alignment with their “gender identity” at business establishments.
Wiener has long supported transgender ideology and pushed its policy ideas. In 2023, the Democrat attempted to label a Christian advocacy organization as a “hate group” after its outreach coordinator testified during a hearing that men cannot have menstrual cycles.
