(DCNF)—Los Angeles-based musician Tish Hyman fired back at a crowd that tried to boo her after she said transgender women aren’t women, while pressing Democratic California Sen. Scott Wiener to address biological women’s safety.
Hyman posted a video Tuesday across her social media accounts showing an exchange she had with Wiener as he took part in a town hall-style event. Explaining that she’d recently had an altercation with a biological male in the women’s locker room at Gold’s Gym Beverly Center on Nov. 2, Hyman said she’s “deeply concerned about women’s safety in our female-only spaces.”
“What would you say to women who are seeking assurance that their safety will be protected from men who, by California law, can self-ID as women in women-only spaces, sir? Please tell me,” Hyman asked.
“Yeah, so we want, I mean, everyone to be safe. We also know that we have trans people, both men and women, who are men and women,” Wiener responded. “So if you’re a trans woman, [they] are women.”
While Hyman applauded the Democrat lawmaker for some of the work he’s done, she pressed him on his support for bills that have been “dangerous for women and young children” within once women-only spaces.
“I’m telling you, as a woman, first and foremost, that this is dangerous,” Hyman continued. “I want to support you. I have millions of people behind me watching this right now. We want to know, are you going to protect women?”
“Not trans women, women, trans women are a different thing,” Hyman added as a crowd member could be heard beginning to push back.
A member of the audience could be heard off-camera pushing back against Hyman, responding, “Trans women are women.”

“So if there’s another black woman in here who wants to tell me how they feel, please join in. But all of you are not. I don’t know who you are, what you are, but I’m a lesbian,” Hyman said. “I’m telling you right now, men are harassing women in the locker room.”
Wiener then said he appreciated her perspective and apologized for the assaults she experienced. While emphasizing that the safety of “all women” must be protected, the Democrat lawmaker added that “trans women are also brutalized in this country.”
Attempting to broaden his point, Wiener included “women and cisgender women” as groups who face violence, saying all categories deserve protection.
In a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation, Hyman told the outlet that the exchange with Wiener wasn’t about politics.
“My exchange with Senator Wiener wasn’t about politics — it was about accountability. Women deserve to have their safety and privacy respected without being dismissed or labeled for speaking the truth. I hope our leaders start listening to women instead of trying to silence them,” Hyman said.
Weiner’s office did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.
In her Nov. 2 video posted to social media, Hyman recorded an altercation with a biological man identifying as a transgender woman who had entered the women’s locker room.
Hyman said the individual allegedly assaulted her multiple times, with their final encounter beginning when he came up behind her and called her a “bitch” in a deep, angry voice.
California law allows individuals to use restrooms consistent with their
“gender identity” in both private and public spaces. According to the ACLU of Southern California, the Unruh Civil Rights Act protects individuals using facilities in alignment with their “gender identity” at business establishments.
Wiener has long supported transgender ideology and pushed its policy ideas. In 2023, the Democrat attempted to label a Christian advocacy organization as a “hate group” after its outreach coordinator testified during a hearing that men cannot have menstrual cycles.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
