Daily Beast looks into how teen's 'locker room freakout' became an 'anti-trans crusade'

We’ve already been through this with the Wi Spa in California. A woman complained about a naked biological male in the women-only section of the spa and became the target of weeks of protest, with even Antifa riding in to protect the rights of trans women to help themselves to female-only spaces. The whole thing became a circus, and the last we’d heard, the transgender woman at the center of the protests was arrested for indecent exposure after going on the run.

A similar incident occurred at a YMCA in a suburb of San Diego. As The Daily Beast puts it, “How a 17-Year-Old’s Locker Room Freakout Became an Anti-Trans Crusade” with the subhead, “Overnight Fringe Icon”:

Christynne Lili Wrene Wood, a 66-year-old Navy veteran and retired civil servant, had just returned home from a trip to Palm Springs when a friend from her beloved aqua aerobics class sent her a video on Instagram of Phillips speaking at the city council.

“I just started crying and crying and shaking,” she told The Daily Beast. “I’m neither Sigmund Freud nor Carl Jung; I don’t know what evil pathology drives that. But there’s always got to be that convenient boogeyman. There’s always gonna be that ‘other’ that threatens ‘us.’”

If drag shows have been one focus of recent extremist rage at the LGBTQ community, it appears as if YMCAs may be emerging as a new proving ground for right-wing culture warriors. If so, the story of Rebecca Phillips points to just how swiftly that process can take off.

Drag shows for children … let’s strive for accuracy here. And yes, it’s apparently a Left-wing value that biological males should be allowed anywhere women go, even the showers. Those nasty right-wingers have a problem with it.

Here’s some coverage from the local ABC affiliate:

Any sympathy for the teen girl who complained? Hell no.

So, right-wingers are going to pounce on the fact that this was a minor who was frightened by what she saw. Exploiting children to cover for their transphobia. “Locker room freakout.”
