Joy Reid came out against transgender-identifying males in women's locker rooms after previously calling critics of the transgender movement Nazis.The former MSNBC host made the surprising comments while opining about an incident at a Los Angeles gym where a woman expressed her outrage at seeing male genitalia in the locker room.'I can see why she would have gone and reported to management. ... Does she not have the right to be at least uncomfortable with the situation?'"I would be disturbed. I would be alarmed. I’m alarmed enough when I see a woman with her dangling boobies," said Reid on her podcast Sunday."If I saw a penis in the ladies’ locker room, I would freak out, too!" she added.Singer Tish Hyman went viral over video showing her accusing Alexis Black of exposing himself in the women's locker room at a business formerly run as a Gold's Gym. Hyman, who is a lesbian woman, said that it was the fourth time she had been forced to deal with the issue and the staff had ignored her complaints.Reid sided with Hyman but said the issue had nothing to do with anti-transgender bigotry."What it’s saying is if I turn around and I see a pee-pee, a penis in front of me inside of the room, I would probably go to management and say, ‘Wait a minute. Why is there somebody — a naked man — in this room?’” Reid asked.“Because just the world we live in, just from a safety standpoint and just from a privacy standpoint … I can see why she would have gone and reported to management," she added. "Because if she’s uncomfortable, does she not have the right to be at least uncomfortable with the situation?"Reid had previously compared critics of the transgender cause to those who supported Nazi Germany."Targeting trans people isn't new. It is an age-old tradition which Nazi Germany did with brutally violent ends in the 1930s. While the Supreme Court refuses to do anything about weapons of war in schools, today they seemed inclined to uphold Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors," she said nearly a year ago in comments documented by Sky News.RELATED: Joy Reid says no one used the word inflation until Republicans taught them what it means to damage Dems "I was in shock. I was scared, and I told him to leave. He would not leave and had no regard for my naked body," said Hyman of the incident.Hyman says her gym membership was revoked because of the incident."Trans people have a right to exist," she said. "They need their own locker rooms and their own spaces. It doesn’t make sense to put them in the same room with women."Like Blaze News?

The Trump administration is advancing its plan to dismantle the Department of Education, seeking to return more power to the states.The department announced on Tuesday that it had entered into six new interagency agreements with four government agencies to "break up the federal education bureaucracy" and "ensure efficient delivery of funded programs."'What we want to do is to show Congress that this implementation works.'These new agreements involved partnerships with the Departments of Labor, Interior, Health and Human Services, and State."Cutting through layers of red tape in Washington is one essential piece of our final mission," Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said. "As we partner with these agencies to improve federal programs, we will continue to gather best practices in each state through our 50-state tour, empower local leaders in K-12 education, restore excellence to higher education, and work with Congress to codify these reforms. Together, we will refocus education on students, families, and schools — ensuring federal taxpayer spending is supporting a world-class education system."The Education Department and the DOL will establish the Elementary and Secondary Education Partnership, which aims to "empower parents and states" to promote improvements in the education system that will better serve students. "DOL will take on a greater role in administering federal K-12 programs, ensuring these programs are better aligned with workforce and college programs to set students up for success at every part of their education journey," a press release from the Education Department read.A separate partnership with the DOL aims to improve postsecondary education and workforce development programs. The Labor Department will administer grant programs to "help students from all walks of life obtain the credentials and career training they need to prosper and contribute to the American economy."RELATED: America's largest teachers' union declares war on the Trump administration, will use kids as foot soldiers Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty ImagesThe Department of the Interior will work with the Education Department to establish the Indian Education Partnership to improve Native American education."Through a vital partnership with the Department of Education, the Department of the Interior will assume administration for enhancing Indian education programs, streamlining operations, and refocusing efforts to better serve Native youth and adults across the nation," Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum stated. The HHS will establish the Foreign Medical Accreditation Partnership to assess whether the standards of foreign medical schools are comparable to U.S. standards."Medical education must incorporate timely, rigorous science on nutrition, metabolism, and all medical subjects. [HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.] is leading the charge with American medical schools and HHS will encourage foreign medical schools through this partnership," Health and Human Services Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill stated.HHS will also create the Child Care Access Means Parents in School Partnership to improve on-campus child care programs for parents attending college. Lastly, the State Department will set up the International Education and Foreign Language Studies Partnership "to streamline international education program funding and data collection measures, consolidate program management, and advance national security interests."RELATED: Trump admin battles teachers’ unions in latest Education Department legal challenges Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty ImagesMcMahon told CNN on Wednesday that these partnerships are not yet ready to implement but are in the "beginning stages" of establishing interagency agreements. She acknowledged that the Trump administration would need congressional approval to make these moves permanent, adding that the current goal is to demonstrate that the changes will be effective."What we want to do is to show Congress that this implementation works," McMahon told CNN. Randi Weingarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers, has previously pledged to take legal action against the Trump administration's attempts to dismantle the Education Department.Freedom Foundation CEO and Teacher Freedom Alliance President Aaron Withe responded to the Education Department's latest "bold action" and the union's roadblocks, in a statement emailed to Blaze News."President Trump is delivering on his promise to dismantle the federal education bureaucracy, and who is leading the opposition? Randi Weingarten and the teachers' unions," Withe stated. "The teachers' unions have enjoyed unprecedented power over this department since Jimmy Carter created it as a political favor to the [National Education Association]. They've had decades to deliver results. Instead, American students keep falling further behind while spending keeps going up.""The unions oppose these reforms because they threaten the special access they've enjoyed for too long," Withe continued. "Well, that era is over. Parents, students, and local communities deserve better than a system designed to serve union bosses. The Freedom Foundation applauds President Trump and Secretary McMahon for taking bold action to break up this failed bureaucracy and return control of education where it belongs."Like Blaze News?
