Women Share Chilling Locker Room Encounters: Mothers Supporting AB 1998
March 24, 2026
Mothers from across California joined legislators, detransitioners, and individuals from across the political spectrum at a press conference last week to support AB 1998, a bill to protect intimate spaces for women. Standing shoulder to shoulder in the shadow of the State Capitol, they shared deeply personal and disturbing experiences that reveal a growing crisis of women being made vulnerable in locker rooms, restrooms, and other intimate spaces where they should feel safe. They all stood united in one message: men do not belong in women’s spaces.
