Disturbing viral video shows the moment a transgender gymgoer appears to be masturbating in a stall inside the women’s bathroom at a Planet Fitness in California.

 

Planet Fitness patron Grace Hutson claims she encountered the ordeal while she was using the female restroom at the gym’s Concord location, just outside San Francisco, last May — but the footage only exploded online over the weekend.

 

The clip, which she originally posted on TikTok, showed the shadow of an unidentified person appearing to perform the sex act on themselves.

 

“At the end of the day, whether you’re transgender or not, you should not be stroking your s–t in the women’s bathroom,” Huston said in a TikTok video posted late Sunday after the footage started going viral.

 

“Okay, that’s definitely some weirdo s–t.”

 

The young woman alerted the front desk staff at the time, but the employees didn’t know how to handle the situation, she said.

 

Her boyfriend eventually stepped in to confront the trans gymgoer.

 

Addressing the saga, the young woman said she now regrets not doing more at the time.

 

“I was just really uncomfortable and, honestly, I kind of just wanted to say my piece and get the f–k out of there. Looking back, I do have regrets, like I should have done more. I should have called the cops,” she said.

 

“I thought about it, but I was like there’s no way anything is gonna come of this. People are just gonna say I’m transphobic.”

 

The Post reached out to Planet Fitness but didn’t hear back immediately.

 

The viral clip resurfaced months after Grammy-nominated singer Tish Hyman was kicked out of a Gold’s Gym in Los Angeles after confronting a wife-beating transgender woman who allegedly exposed his male genitals in the women’s locker room.

 

The 42-year-old musician, who has been outspoken about keeping transgender women out of women’s spaces, posted a response to the Planet Fitness video on her social media accounts.

 

“When you see me speak with passion, this is why,” she wrote.

 

“Women and girls deserve truth, safety, and protection — not confusion, not denial, not lies dressed up as compassion,” Hyman continued.

 

“Sex is real. Boundaries matter. Reality matters. Enough with pretending otherwise.

 

“This isn’t hate. This is care. This is love. This is standing up.”

 

Hyman was filmed last year getting into a heated argument with Alexis Black, a convicted wife-beater who is transitioning.

 

Hyman had filed complaints against Black for using the women’s locker room and accused Black of exposing himself and harassing her in the locker room, which he has denied.

 

Black, formerly Grant Freeman, pleaded guilty in 2022 to savagely beating his wife, Alexis Freeman, while still living as a man in Ohio.

 

The attack left his wife with a compound fractured jaw and other serious injuries.
