Alexis Black, 32, from Los Angeles, gained national attention after singer Tish Hyman confronted her at Gold's Gym in Beverly Hills on Sunday. The confrontation arose when Hyman exploded in front of gymgoers, shouting about Black using the women's changing rooms.
"Grown men with big d**ks [are] in the women's locker room. And I want to make sure the girls know," Hyman screamed as she was being escorted out of the gym.
Black, a transgender woman who previously went by Grant Freeman, said the incident was part of a long-running feud between them over the women's locker room. She expressed feeling disrespected during the encounter, which started in the locker room.
"She didn't want to do introductions," Black told the Daily Mail, referring to Hyman.

She is a divorcee from Ohio and has been using the women's changing room since starting estrogen and progesterone treatments. Open about her transition, Black has discussed it with several women while working out at Gold's Gym, now owned by EoS Fitness.
