As the debate over gender continues to grow, one thing is certain: biological men should not be allowed in female locker rooms. This very issue was recently brought to light when 17-year-old Rebecca Phillips and a male adult were found in the YMCA female locker room.
Megyn Kelly recently addressed this on her Sirius XM show, “The Megyn Kelly Show.” She was speaking with conservative commentators Mary Katharine Ham and Bethany Mandel about the story when she played a clip from a recent city council meeting in which Christynne Woods defended his behavior by claiming he had a right to be in the locker room because he has a gynecologist.
“Why is it making my blood boil that Christynne claims to have a gynecologist? It’s making my blood boil…Part of it is, I just actually went to the gynecologist. Actual women have to go to the gynecologist once a year. When you just delivered a baby, you spend your life with your gynecologist and your OB-GYN,” Kelly said.
Kelly then listed the concerns women have when they go to see their OB-GYN, such as “ovarian cancer or other kinds of cancers,” getting a breast exam, and “constantly worrying whether they’re going to find a lump and how that could go there.”
Her words echo the sentiment of many women and girls who feel that this male adult is not only invading the privacy of women and girls in the locker room, but also belittling their experiences.
“There are things that are particular to that exam and that relationship that no f***ing man is ever going to have,” Kelly stated. “So that guy doesn’t have a gynecologist. That guy has a hole that a surgeon created at best. I’m sorry, it’s like infuriating because there are things that make women special.”
Kelly made it clear that the relationship between a woman and her OB-GYN is a special one. It is a place of comfort and understanding and it is medically necessary. Women should be able to go to their OB-GYN without fear of being attacked or violated and they should not have to share their space with a male adult.
Our society has come a long way in terms of gender equality, but there is still work to be done. Lawmakers must continue to fight for the rights of women and girls and ensure that their voices are heard. By standing up for the rights of women and girls, we can create a society where everyone is safe and respected.
