Things have become much harder for Lyons after she experienced sharing a locker room with Thomas.

“Young women, teenage girls were forced to take off next to a completely untouched biological man who exposed himself to us, while at the same time we were fully exposed,” Wheeler said. “They never asked us. They never got us a choice or other option. It was expected to be fine with it, to overthrow discomfort, shame, fear, because we would get up for ourselves that we were marked as intolerant or hated or bigotted. “
