In the clip, a woman, who some said is African-American, is heard complaining to the Wi Spa\u2019s staff that a biological male walked into the women\u2019s section and exposed himself to girls. The customer reportedly identified himself as a transgender woman.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>\u201cHe is a man,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>the woman is heard saying.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cHe is not a female. There are girls down there, other women who are highly offended by what they just saw and you did nothing. You sided with him.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At the time, Wi Spa appeared to confirm the incident and defended its policy of allowing biological males who identify as female to use the women\u2019s bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/dozens-arrested-antifa-clash-police-outside-controversial-korean-la-spa\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/dozens-arrested-antifa-clash-police-outside-controversial-korean-la-spa<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dozens Arrested As Antifa Clash With Police Outside Controversial Korean LA Spa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74513"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74513\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
