Trans woman gym goer caught masturbating in women’s changing room

I’ve included the NY Post article, the original TikTok video and an American police officer YouTuber video (Officer Tatum). This was in California (naturally) at a Planet Fitness gym.

In the beginning of the YouTube video you can see him clearly masturbating (along with his huge gross feet all splayed out), and if you want to avoid YouTube commentary jump to 4:30 for the confrontation.

I’ll transcribe some of the confrontation. It’s a few gym employees, the woman and her boyfriend.

BF: Bro do you go to the Taco Bell restroom and jack off? (Probably.) What the fuck is wrong with you bro? (AGP.)

Woman: Minors walking through here…(Probably the point.)

Trans: You guys, I was IN the stall. (Tip of the hat for not jacking off while at the bench press.)

BF: It does NOT FUCKING MATTER bro.

Trans: I’m not harassing anyone in the stall…I’m allowed to be in here.

Woman: You’re IN THE WOMAN’S BATHROOM.

BF: It doesn’t matter, you’re not allowed to jerk off in here! That is so fucking weird! We have video fucking proof!

Trans: Um are you allowed to video in here? (Attention women: Never video the actions of a man committing a lewd act in public lest it make a man look bad.)

BF: It doesn’t matter, you’re in the women’s bathroom jerking your fucking penis bro!

Trans: I’m transgender! (Here we go! The magic word. All take the knee and beg for forgiveness for your blasphemous ways at the shrine of Transgender!) I was drying off…(HAHAHA.)

Woman: That was you in the shower, too. (Feck’s sake.)

Trans: Right…

At this rate, we’re probably a mere 5 years away from the normalization of public masturbation.

WTAF!

So now men can make threats towards women and if they are from a specific subgroup people should not take those threats seriously?

fuck.

I didn't say that threats shouldn't be taken seriously, please don't misquote me.

I asked if you'd consider someone threatening to rape or murder you for simply disagreeing with them a serious person, representative of their entire community.

To be clear, by 'considering them a serious person' I was referring to whether their threats to rape/kill gave you the impression that they were somebody to be taken seriously, there to make meaningful, good faith arguments in support of their cause, or that they were idiots/scumbags looking to cause upset/aggro and not worth the time of day?

I thought I'd qualified that in the following paragraphs, but I apologize if I wasn't clear. My bad.

there is something disconnected in being told that obviously people aren’t condoning these threats

I just had a quick look and all four of the politicians pictured with that 'Decapitate TERFS' sign immediately condemned it when the images were posted and claimed they didn't know it was being held up behind them when the pictures were taken.

Whether all four of them saw it and had the same monumental lapse in judgement, or whether it was held up behind them without their knowledge, you cannot seriously suggest that their official position - as politicians - is that they endorse the decapitation of TERFS.

I don't know who Baker is, but I've had a quick read up and watched the video and yeah, extremely stupid/potentially dangerous thing to say. I don't think it's fair to say that she's out there 'rallying people to punch TERFS' based on one unrepeated, apologised for comment from two years ago, or that a politician supporting her activism today is somehow endorsing that.

I wasn't suggesting there are. My point was that - no matter the topic - someone's who responds to your difference of opinion by threatening to rape you clearly shouldn't be taken seriously.

A recognised tool of abusive political control and a war crime should not be taken seriously

Again. Fuck! This continued dismissal is revealing.

I come across Baker quite regularly at events where Baker has decided to 'rally' many young people who are carrying signs that are just as violent and who are very keen to intimidate women who want to speak in a public place

But .... I MUST remember that Baker is not to be taken seriously because he apologised...

If you seriously cannot see the dismissal in your posts, then I don't know what else we can do to highlight it considering the beacons we are shining on them. All I am seeing is, women you are over reacting, a bloke holding signage with rape and death threats is not going to be taken seriously by anyone and you should not consider it a 'serious' threat. And a bloke who has been to prison for kidnap, torture, attempted murder and who ate his own testes should be considered as not 'rallying people to be violent' despite him leading protests that are very heavy on the intimidation and violence at every opportunity.

Or... is it that we should just avoid him and not attend events where he might be, but hey .... he apologised and it WAS two years ago.

By the way, see how different it also reads when Baker's correct sex pronouns are used? Doesn't seem so dismissible in my opinion when it is made very clear that Baker is a man.

UNREPEATED???

That violent sexist thug literally took a recording of his threat, the one he had previously been forgiven for breaking the terms of his bail because he "apologised for" it, looped it and played it on a loudspeaker to intimidate and disrupt a Feminist protest!!!

Can't really get more repeated than that, or prove any more clearly how fake his apology was.

I respectfully suggest, rather than admitting you know almost nothing about what has been happening but nevertheless feeling entitled to argue that what we are saying is happening can't posdibly be happening because it's not what a reasonable person would do, you spend a bit of time reading trans reddit, Bluesky and trans voices on Medium to see just how far their idea of "reasonable" has moved away from yours.

OpheliaWitchoftheWoods · 13/01/2026 18:55

It's not possible to convince the righteous. It's boring and a waste of time, I shouldn't have bothered. Real issues to deal with. Like making the government follow the law instead of overturn it to force non consenting women to have no place they can take their clothes off without men there, a number of whom enjoy posting and doing things as mentioned above.

Phillipson, you first. Show me. Lead the way. Go in with Baker and shower, I'll hold your coat.

Helleofabore · 13/01/2026 19:13

The man attends seemingly every women only/ feminist event with his loud hailer and rallies young men to call women fascists and all sorts of things. And to generally intimidate women who disagree that he is any type of woman at every opportunity. He is there with the loud noise makers also. He is aggressive and he is intent on silencing women. I mean, I have seen him numerous times on video and in person.

She’s alright though…. Just a woman saying stupid things and all.

But apparently, he has apologised…and it WAS two years ago!

Given your general limited understanding of or exposure to these concerns about trans women inserting themselves into female only spaces, please reread Seethlaw · Today 08:56 comments to understand the general position in the trans community. Seethlaw knows of which they speak as a trans man.

How, materially, does a trans-identfying man differ from all the other men? You cannot identify into oppression. You cannot identify into being a minority.

Has anyone posed a suggestion which male extreme transgender activists law and policy makers ‘should’ take seriously if it isn’t the ones threatening and intimidating women? Are there any male extreme transgender rights activists who are not intimidating women? All that I know of intimidate women by deliberating using female single sex provisions.

The dismissal is not just about the threat to punch women. The dismissal is also that he ‘apologised’ and that it was two years ago.

I expect most 'reasonable trans people' don't associate with those calling for the rape and murder of others.

Funny how TRA with violent history get platformed at gatherings and speak of carrying out acts of harm against women and people stay but its not to boo or to demand the removal of the speaker and an apology from the organisers. 🤷‍♀️

Funny how womens gatherings and the women who attend are subjected to violent acts and the need to have police protections. 🤷‍♀️

Your "Reasonable" is the no true Scotsman argument. 👀

And in truth, do we really need anyone to point out that they don't condone raping/killing people? Can't we work that out for ourselves?

There have been a number of posters here on MN who have stated that the rape of a child or a woman should not count or be relevant to the issue of why single sex spaces are needed.

Plenty have told women with PTSD from sexual abuse that they should accept that the male wanting to be in what should be a single sex space is more relevant and important that their need for a single sex space.

There are a few posters who are likely wanking on their keyboards while reading and/or posting.

And whole threads about prople who defend their choice to risk killing their partner during sex for a thrill.

Killings for a ideology is just killing on another day ending in y.

So sometimes a question is needed to be asked and answered.

The dismissal is not just about the threat to punch women. The dismissal is also that he ‘apologised’ and that it was two years ago.

He was on licence and that is why he apologised. He didn't want to go back to prison. I don't believe for one second that he was sorry.

If toilets are going to be divided between male and female, it should be on lines of sex, not gender. You've got to consider why it's necessary to split them. It's largely to prevent certain males from behaving inappropriately. But men don't react well when women go into their toilets either. They don't want a female stranger to see them at the urinal. It's also about modesty.

A male person who claims to be a woman is still male and needs to stay out, precisely because he might act inappropriately and make the women feel uncomfortable or threatened.

That said, I feel like this incident, distasteful as it is, has been exaggerated. It should have been dealt with quietly and the male person banned from the female toilets in future.

You do grasp the concept that men and women's toilet/changing facilities were segregated to begin with in order to prevent incidents like this happening in the first place?

What you're suggesting is basically kick men in dresses out AFTER these types of incidents. In this respect, you are accepting the fact that women are the unfortunate collateral damage in the fight to figure out who the 'good' ones are and who the 'bad' ones are.

Well you can do one. They all need keeping out, to keep us safe from the bad ones. Not kicked out DURING the incident, not kicked out AFTER the incident. The fucking incident shouldn't happen in the first place.

And how do we ensure the incident doesn't happen in the first place? Keep men, all men, whether that be small ones, tall ones, black ones, white ones, left-wing ones, right wing ones, fat bellied ones, skinny ones, those dressed in men's clothing, those dressed in womens clothing. ALL.

All the pictures of these 'rallies' I've seen with signs calling for violence look like they'd struggle to put on a game of five-a-side with their numbers, so I'd expect them all to be on the same page.

But you're right - trans activists who don't share those views should absolutely be rejecting calls for violence of any kind. But there's also the argument that by acknowledging the signs, especially at a rally, you're giving them the confrontation and attention they so desperately crave.

Suggesting that someone should be guillotined is a patently unserious statement - where do we draw the line? TERFS Should Be Tarred & Feathered? TERFS Should Be Shot into Space? TERFS Should Be Made To Watch Mrs Brown's Boys On Repeat?

The Narcissist's Prayer:

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

we would be suicidal not to take decapitation threats seriously.

Quite the character it seems!

I won't be fretting about someone I'd never heard of until today, I just find it funny when people feel the need to bend the truth to justify something.

Rallies would mean it was done more than once (or was still being done), which as far as I can see it wasn't, but happy to be corrected.

I'd argue it wasn't even done once, given that nobody was 'rallied' to go looking for people to punch in the face, nobody got punched in the face and a court found that it was unlikely they'd expected anyone to act on their words when clearing them of incitement to violence.

So what you se to be saying is, women should ignore all the threats and the violence because they’re coming from males with a trans identity. What if a male without a trans identity threatens us with rape and violence? Do we ignore those as well? When should we take these threats seriously? When one women gets attacked or do you have a different number? What about the psychological effect on women caused by hulking great men threatening them, and then demanding to enter their spaces because they’re really women?

Well the thing is...that's not what I'm saying at all. I haven't said it once in fact. I didn't say it in my original post (which was a question about whether you'd consider someone who threatened to rape you over a difference of opinion a 'serious person' representative of their community) and I've lost track of the number of times I've reiterated it, and clarified that at no point have I claimed violent threats shouldn't be taken seriously.

Yet despite all that, it seems that some people are desperate for me to have said it, so they just keep claiming that I have said it.

What's really tickled me is that the person you're suggesting thinks women should ignore violent threats has spent about 15 years of their adult life in a second career teaching women how to fight and defend themselves. Couldn't make it up.
