North Kansas City police are investigating a report of indecent exposure
after a mom and her young daughter witnessed a man who claimed to be a
woman allegedly expose himself in a YMCA women�s locker room.
The mother, who spoke with local news this week, and her seven-year-old daughter entered the locker room after a children�s swim lesson. As she
and her daughter left a bathroom stall, they saw a naked man. When the
mother questioned why the man was in the women�s locker room, he said
something like, ��Honey, I�m a woman,'� she reported.
She and her daughter left the locker room and reported the incident.
In a statement, the YMCA of Greater Kansas City said it was �aware of a reported incident in the locker room at the North Kansas City YMCA on
April 12, 2025.�
�We continue to investigate the incident and are unable to provide further details at this time,� the statement read. �We also are cooperating with
the North Kansas City Police Department as they conduct their
investigation. The safety and well-being of all of our members is a
priority, and we take this concern seriously.�
�We follow all state and local laws, and individuals are allowed to use
the locker room or restroom that they identify with,� the statement
continued. �At the North Kansas City YMCA, we also have four private
universal changing rooms available, separate from the larger shared locker rooms, for anyone who prefers the privacy they offer.�
The mother spoke to Fox4 on the condition of anonymity and emphasized that
her gripe was not with the hot-button issue of gender identity.
�This is not a case of transitional status,� she said. �This is an issue
of somebody showing their body parts to my child in a room where she
should be safe from such things.�
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey launched an investigation in
August of last year into a fitness chain for a similar problem. Life Time Fitness reportedly allowed Eris Montano, a transgender-identifying male
who exposed himself in the women�s locker room, to access the female space despite numerous complaints from female clients.
Montano�s membership was revoked after �Life Time was presented with
multiple, publicly available statements which could affect the safety and security at one of our clubs,� a spokeswoman said at the time.
�As Attorney General, I will vigorously defend and enforce Missouri�s
laws. You face both potential criminal and civil liabilities, and you can expect to receive civil investigative demands from my office in short
order,� Bailey said in a notice of investigation addressed to Life Time�s
CEO. �If you insist on endangering women and young girls in our state, in
open defiance of the law, be assured you will face the consequences.�
