Last Saturday, a protest in Los Angeles’s Koreatown was declared an unlawful assembly by the police department. The protest, which became violent, was over a viral video that encapsulated the clash between transgender activism and women’s rights.

In the video, a woman confronts Wi Spa staff for allowing an individual with male genitalia who identified as female to undress in the women’s facilities. The woman is heard saying, “I just want to be clear with you, it’s OK, it’s OK for a man to go into the women’s section, show his penis around the other women, young little girls, underage? Your spa … condoned that?”
