Tish Hyman says transgender people in the women’s locker room at Gold’s Gym scared her

Singer Tish Hyman explains the build-up to her epic rant about “grown men with big tits in the women’s locker room” at Gold’s Gym… and she says it wasn’t an isolated incident that led her to speak out, but a series of scary encounters.

Tish joined us on “TMZ Live” on Tuesday and told us that she had encountered several trans women in the women’s locker room at her Gold’s Gym, which made her feel uncomfortable and scared.

She says the trans women were fully clothed but looked like men and were rude and threatening to her… calling her a “b*tch” several times.

Tish says she was fed up with the interactions and lack of response or protection from Gold’s Gym…which led to her causing her to be kicked out of the Beverly Center location.

One of the confrontations was caught on video and we tracked down the person in the clip… a trans woman named Alexis Black.

Alexis also joined us on “TMZ Live” on Tuesday, responding to Tish’s comments and telling us her side of the story.

For her part, Alexis says she’s transitioning and taking hormones, but still has male genitals… though she says she’s never been fully exposed to Tish — aside from wearing a towel over her genitals.
