COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A transgender woman’s use of the women’s locker room at a suburban St. Louis gym is prompting protests and calls for an investigation. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the woman joined the gym Sunday. By Friday, protesters outside the gym were calling for a boycott and an investigation by the state’s politically vulnerable Republican attorney general. Attorney General Andrew Bailey quickly obliged. He faces a GOP primary Tuesday against one of former President Donald Trump’s lawyers, Will Scharf. Life Time gym says the member provided a driver’s license listing her as female.
