Fists flew and tensions ran high in East County Wednesday night during dueling protests over transgender policy at the Santee YMCA.
The debate stemmed from a teenage girl's address to the Santee City Council during a Jan. 11 meeting in which she detailed an interaction she said she had with a transgender woman in the locker room.
She said she was startled by the transgender woman changing in the women's locker room.
“I ran into a bathroom stall to change as quickly as I could, organizing my thoughts to share with people at the front desk,” 17-year-old Rebecca Phillips told the council.
Phillips' story set off an emotion-packed debate that led up to Wednesday's protest. One side of demonstrators protested in the name of women's and girls' privacy rights, while the other side claimed anti-trans legislation is rooted in bigotry.
An NBC 7 camera crew captured a brief fight during the protest.
