Unfiltered truth behind divorcee at center of trans gym showdown
Alexis Black, 32, a transgender woman from Los Angeles, received national attention after an altercation with singer Tish Hyman at Gold's Gym in Beverly Hills on Sunday. The confrontation, which became viral, highlighted a continuing dispute over the use of the women’s locker room.
The Incident
According to witness accounts, Tish Hyman publicly confronted Black inside the gym, shouting remarks that were recorded and widely shared on social media. Hyman accused the gym of allowing men into the women’s locker room, leading to her removal from the facility.
“Grown men with big d**ks [are] in the women's locker room. And I want to make sure the girls know,” Hyman shouted before being escorted out.
Alexis Black’s Response
Black told the Daily Mail she felt deeply disrespected by the incident, which she said was not the first confrontation with Hyman. Black, who began her hormonal transition in February after moving from Ohio, mentioned she’s been using the women’s changing room since starting estrogen and progesterone.
“She didn't want to do introductions,” Black said, recalling that Hyman avoided speaking directly to her during their previous encounters.
Background and Lifestyle
Before her transition, Black worked as a DJ under the name Grant Freeman. She described being open about her transition journey and said she has previously discussed it with other women at the gym. Gold's Gym, now operated by EoS Fitness, has not publicly commented on the dispute.
