  • Darren Glines, 31, who identifies as a female, was charged with three counts of indecent exposure at a YMCA in Xenia, Ohio.

A transgender woman has been charged with three counts of indecent exposure at an Ohio YMCA, one of which included stripping while minors were present.

Darren Glines, 31, who has not had any transgender surgery but goes by the name Rachel, was accused of exposing his genitals to women at the Xenia YMCA on three separate occasions between 2021 and 2022. WHO reports.

According to the criminal complaint, the YMCA women “reported seeing a naked male in the women’s locker room,” and an incident occurred while three minors were around.

Xenia City Council President Williams Urshcel said one of the women who filed a complaint was allegedly told by a YMCA employee that Glines identifies as a woman, so “she shouldn’t be upset about this.”

Urschel recently told the story at a Greene County Tea Party gathering, with attendees laughing audibly.

The rest of the city council released a statement saying Urshel’s comments were “his own” and that the charges brought against Glines were through the Xenia Police Division’s own investigation.

“Neither the Xenia City Council, nor any member of the Council, was involved in the decision to bring public charges of indecency regarding the use of the YMCA locker rooms.”

The city added that it has no plans to file charges against the YMCA.

The YMCA of Greater Dayton said in a statement that it would continue to comply with the law while ensuring the privacy and security of all members.

“Under no circumstances will we investigate a person’s birth identity and then assign people to locker rooms,” the YMCA said. “That would be against the law, contrary to respect for all people, and it’s not who or what we are as an organization.”

Local residents, however, have said they are concerned that allowing transgender women into the women’s locker room would put the safety of children at risk.

Kia Coates told WHIO: ‘I’m not judging anyone, that’s not my business, but it’s a family place.

“It doesn’t make me feel comfortable or in a safe place.”

Another woman outside the YMCA told the local outlet: “Whatever gender you want to be, that’s fine, it’s your personal taste or whatever.” But you don’t have to involve our youth.

According to Xenia Municipal Court records, Glines is due to appear in court on February 6.
