Female Jail Staff Say Sheriff Allowed Male Employee in Women’s Locker Room Without Warning

KENOSHA COUNTY, Wis. — Female officers at the Kenosha County Jail say Sheriff David Zoerner’s administration permitted a male jail employee, who is transitioning to female, to use the women’s locker room without any prior notice or discussion with staff — a move that has sparked outrage among several female employees.

According to a whistleblower inside the Sheriff’s Department, the change was implemented quietly, with no memo, briefing, or staff meeting to prepare female officers or address potential concerns. The whistleblower says that after the change, several female officers reported feeling “extremely uncomfortable” due to statements made by the individual while donning and doffing clothing in the locker room.

Rather than directly addressing the complaints, jail leadership allegedly told female officers who objected that they could use bathrooms in the administration area instead. This effectively shifted the burden onto the women, they argue, instead of reconsidering or pausing the policy.

“This is supposed to be a safe, private space for female staff,” the whistleblower said. “Leadership should be addressing this matter promptly… but it seems they want to keep it hush hush.”

Sheriff Zoerner has previously promised to fire whistleblowers, but Kenosha County Eye will never reveal the identity of a whistleblower — even if I am jailed.

When asked whether the reports were accurate and why his administration would allow the arrangement, Zoerner responded in writing: “Kenosha County is conducting a thorough internal investigation into the circumstances surrounding an employee complaint which was received on Sunday. While we cannot discuss the details of a pending personnel matter, we can confirm that currently no male employees are using the women’s locker room.”

The Sheriff’s statement appears to confirm that a complaint was filed — but does not directly address whether a male employee had, in fact, been using the women’s locker room in recent days. Jail insiders say the denial comes only after the matter began drawing attention outside the department.

For now, female staff remain frustrated, with some feeling their privacy and workplace comfort were deprioritized by an administration more concerned with avoiding controversy than openly addressing a sensitive personnel issue. As one officer put it privately, “We were told to move if we had a problem — that says everything about where we stand in this department.”

  1. For God sakes!! why do people continue to cave in to these people who think they are special?? Send the freak into a private dressing room. Problem solved. so sick of this make believe. you were born a man! Guess what. Playing dress up wont change that!!

  2. Very sad that this is or was allowed to happen.
    A persons personal life of transitioning is just that, their personal life. Keep it at home. Back in the day it was just cross dressing. Out at the bars wearing a dress and wig.
    If you are not completely one or the other, and that includes all the functioning equipment in place, then you are still one or the other.
    You don’t get to jump the line of access until you fit the description on the door.
    Male or Female.
    Pick one. Only one. No middle ground here.

    Very disappointed in the Sheriff here. He obviously knows what’s going on. And approved it.
    Then again if he doesn’t know what’s going on then that’s a discussion for another election cycle.

  3. Don’t they screen law enforcement for mental illness? With the great deal of responsibility and power that these individuals are entrusted with, people with this level of mental illness should be screened out.

    1. Because the problems run deeper than the sheriff. Employment issues are rampant within Kenosha county government. HR is woke, so feelings are the only thing that matter, and reality takes a backseat.

  6. Really Sheriff. Maybe when you are putting on your big boy pants, a female that is transitioning to a man walks in and sees your big hairy ass and your tiny balls. Maybe that person makes a suggestive comment to you, (I don’t know why). How the hell do you think this is right? Woke or not. I see a lawsuit coming and rightfully so.

  7. It ain’t just the Sheriff’s office problem. Its what we the people have allowed to happen in our societies. Law suits are costly too and nobody wants to deal with it. A slow slow degradation of morals over many years has gotten us where we are. The TV is jumk now along with many of the commercials paying to advertise. Just look at the brokenness that Kevin finds in society and our Kenosha courts. And we are just one town or city.

    Great way to run your dept , that is so wrong in so many ways !!!

  9. This crap needs to stop. No doubt the radicals at the County’s HR dept approved of this mentally deranged MALE to be hired.

    BUT, the same people who are complaining, most likely are 80-90% hard-core liberals who vote for any democrat who runs. THIS IS WHAT THEY VOTE FOR AND ENDORSE. It’s the typical liberal mentality that OTHER people need to be forced to take it, but NOT ME.
