SANTEE, Calif. — On Wednesday at the Santee City Council meeting, the transgender woman at the center of a vitriolic debate over the local YMCA's locker room policy took to the podium to share her side of the story. Two weeks earlier, 17-year-old Rebecca Philips said she was "terrified" after seeing what she thought was a naked man in the women's locker room at the Santee YMCA. Since then, there have been both protests and calls of support for 66-year-old Chrystynne Wood, who found herself in the middle of it all.
