Haven’t leftists sanctimoniously proclaimed that no “trans”-identifying man would ever harm women in women’s private spaces?

Haven’t leftists bristled with faux-umbrage at the suggestion that allowing objectively male persons in women’s private spaces will result in predators pretending to be women to easily access their victims?

Haven’t leftists hurled the epithet “transphobe” at anyone who dared to suggest that female-identifying men and teenage boys should never have access to female private spaces?

Well, here’s yet another story of a creepy man getting his sick jollies with a little help from “progressive” friends who hate women and children but pretend they love them.

In June 2021, with his penis and testicles fully exposed, middle-aged man Darren Merager sashayed through a women’s locker room in the Wi Spa in Los Angeles, California in which young girls were present. According to Merager in a recent interview with Los Angeles Magazine, he remained at the spa for eleven more hours after his encounter with a woman who objected to his presence.

That remarkable woman was Cubana Angel, a Christian who had the courage and integrity to confront the front desk staff about their policy that permits men who claim to be women to easily access victims.

Unbelievably, another man interrupted her confrontation with the Wi Spa staff to defend the exhibitionist. What a state of depravity we’ve entered when a man defends the presence of a flasher who pretends to be a woman in a women’s locker room.

Worse yet, a group of unmanly men with yellow stripes running down their spineless backs stood around saying nothing. (If only we still had the pillory …)

Angel recorded the exchange and posted it on social media, following which leftists began calling her a liar and claiming her allegation was a hoax. Then Antifa joined the fray, initiating mostly violent protests in defense of the exhibitionist.

A month later, Angel held a press conference accompanied by pastor and attorney Marc Little, to share her experiences and her plans to hold the state of California accountable for its contemptible failure to protect girls and women.

Four women corroborated Cubana Angel’s account, and the five brave women filed complaints against Merager. Then in September 2021, the Los Angeles County District Attorney filed five felony counts of indecent exposure against Merager who promptly went on the lam.

As it turns out, Merager is a registered sex offender for whom this was not his first flashing rodeo.

To be clear in this time of malignant media deceit, Merager, who pretends to be a woman, did expose his penis and testicles in the presence of minor girls and women. That is an offense against children, women, and decency, and it should be illegal.

Merager was arrested on December 13, 2022 and is being held in a men’s jail—because he is a man and ever will be.

Even if Merager had had his penis and testicles removed, he would still be a man and, therefore, have no right to be in women’s private spaces. The severing of his penis and testicles would not transform him into a woman. Such butchery would make him a eunuch.

In the Los Angeles Magazine, interview Merager described himself:

I’m legally female. But I have facial hair. I have a penis. I have no breasts. I don’t have a feminine voice. I don’t wear makeup or dress up like a female. … I have heterosexual sex because my penis fits in a vagina. I don’t tell women I’m with that I’m transgender because that’s not my sex.

Merager was asked about his prior arrest and conviction:

Weren’t you once caught without pants and masturbating while peering into the window of an 85-year-old Arcadia woman?

Merager responded: 

So what happened was this elderly man got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, and his bathroom overlooks another yard [and he saw me masturbating]. But even if it was masturbation, I don’t have a problem with that because that’s not illegal. It’s only illegal if you’re masturbating in someone’s face, like George Michael.

While masturbation per se is not illegal in California, public masturbation is—for now.

But now, men of all sorts—including public masturbators, intact men, and men who are sexually attracted to women—are legally allowed in female-only private spaces, and they’re legally allowed to be fully naked.

Another California man who masquerades as a woman, “Bamby” Salcedo, CEO of the TransLatin Coalition says Cubana Angel’s assertion that the penis-accoutered Merager is a man is an act of violence:

I think this is one of the horrible things that we experience every single day within our society. … The trans community, particularly trans women [i.e., men], we experience this type of violence every single day of our lives.

Saying that men are men constitutes “violence” to the deeply troubled Salcedo, who came from a broken and abusive home and was in and out of prison for years.

Ironically, in a documentary Salcedo, who claims he is a “physically constructed woman”—by which he means he has chemically and surgically altered his body to conceal his sex—describes his experience in prison:

When it was time to shower, they sent me to shower with other men. Obviously, that was embarrassing and degrading because I had to get naked in front of a whole bunch of different men.

Salcedo—a man—expects people to feel sympathy for his plight of having to undress in the presence of men, but when a woman describes feeling uncomfortable in the presence of an undressed man, Salcedo calls her violent.

“Trans”-cultists need to answer this question: If “trans”-identifying men and women should not have to undress or use bathrooms with those whose “gender identity” they don’t share, then why should other men and women (what cross-dressers call “cisgenders” and I call normal people) have to undress or use bathrooms with those whose sex they don’t share?

Humans cannot change their sex, and the sex of humans matters. No one is obligated to accept the superstitions of the “trans”-cult (with whom the profiteering mental health and medical communities have linked arms).

“Trans”-cultism is like a hungry lion prowling around with a special taste for children.  And Americans are averting their gaze, pretending not to notice as children are devoured. Accessing their prey has never been easier for men than it is today.
