Tish Hyman, who quickly became a darling of the right in her fight to keep biological men out of women’s spaces, announced that she will be running for mayor of Los Angeles.
“It’s official I’m running for mayor of Los Angeles!” Hyman said in a post to X. “It’s time to UNITE IN TRUTH!”
Hyman catapulted to becoming a household name with conservative commentators like Megyn Kelly and speaking at rallies after she went viral in November for raising concerns over a biological man, who identified as a woman, who was using the women’s locker room at Gold’s Gym. Hyman shared on social media that she had several negative encounters with the individual, who threatened her. In the end, Hyman had her gym membership cancelled.
“There are men. grown men with big d**** in the women’s locker room, and that’s why I’m being kicked out, and I want to make sure that all the girls know,” Hyman said in a video from November when she was removed from the gym.
Hyman, a black lesbian who voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, has challenged Democrat politicians’ support of allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports and gain access to female-only spaces.
At a town hall meeting, Hyman questioned California state Sen. Scott Weiner if he was going to put the safety concerns of women ahead of validating the identities of transgender women. She pointed out that under California law, a man can enter a female-only space simply by saying that they self-identify as a woman.
“We want everyone to be safe,” Weiner answered Hyman.
“We also know that we have trans people, both men and women who are men and women.”
Hyman shared a video of her exchange with Weiner at the town, explaining that it was his and other politicians’ failure to recognize that a distinction exists between women and transgender “women” as the reason for her deciding to run.
“I decided to run for Mayor of Los Angeles because one truth became impossible to ignore: not a single candidate was willing to clearly stand up for women’s safety,” Hyman wrote.
“My mission is simple and non-negotiable: Los Angeles can be rebuilt, restored, and revitalized without sacrificing women’s safety. These priorities do not compete , they reinforce each other,” Hyman continued.
Hyman faces a crowded primary. Last week, reality star Spencer Pratt announced his candidacy.
