The U.S. Postal Service reportedly hired a trans convicted sex offender and then gave them access to the women’s bathroom, according to a whistleblower who spoke with IW Features.
Whistleblower Hannah Kulishova, a USPS employee since 2021, learned about the trans convicted sex offender, Ashley Phillips, in August of 2024.
“This realization began after a male USPS employee identifying as a transgender woman [Phillips] was given free rein of the women’s restrooms in the Larchmont, New York, post office, where Kulishova worked,” according to IW Features.
“He came into the bathroom while I was still washing my hands,” she recalled to the outlet. “I immediately felt afraid, which is really strange. That doesn’t normally happen, and I couldn’t explain why.”
Giant dudes in dresses popping up in the women’s bathroom can understandably be very frightening.

Kulishova subsequently raised concerns with her postmaster, only for the postmaster to not only dismiss her concerns but also deny her request to use the postmaster’s single-stall bathroom.
“As a result, for the past year, Kulishova has been forced to walk to the CVS next door to use the restroom and change out of her uniform,” according to IW Features.
During this time, she discovered that other USPS employees also shared her concern but were too afraid to confront management about it.
“Everybody was extra polite around Ashley, and I would hear my boss and other people saying stuff like, ‘Oh, we’ve got to be careful what we say,'” Kulishova said.
Eventually, she decided, for reasons that remain unclear, to dig into Phillips’ background. That’s when she discovered that he’s featured on the sex offender registry list as someone who’s at a “high risk” of reoffending and whose crimes involved porn and children.
“Anthony Phillips (later changed to Ashley Phillips) was convicted in 2004 with a 180-month state prison sentence after pleading guilty to sexual exploitation of a minor,” IW features notes. “An FBI investigation had tied him to a child pornography website, and upon searches of his and a family’s home, evidence showed he had a sexual relationship with an 11-year-old girl, ‘Jane Doe.'”
“But at minimum five children were directly victimized by Phillips, according to court records: the Jane Doe, a neighbor boy aged 6 or 7, an unnamed girl aged 7 or 8, his half-sister aged 9, and a boy from Brooklyn aged 13,” the reporting continues.
Phillips also reportedly had an extensive child porn library and a history of gifting sex toys to children.
Kulishova told IW Features that when she discovered this, it made her question whether this was what she was “picking up on” when she felt fear at seeing Phillips in the women’s bathroom.
After discovering Phillips’ record, she again raised concerns, only to be dismissed once more, with her superior reportedly laughing at her earlier predicament in the women’s bathroom and also stunningly telling her not to worry because Phillips likes children.
If that weren’t bad enough, Phillips was at some point later upgraded to a supervisor, shocking Kulishova.
“That made me very angry and upset because I don’t believe he should be in a position with access to people’s records,” she said. “I’m not comfortable with him having my address.”
“It’s disturbing that everybody has sort of been like, ‘Hush hush, just don’t talk about it. We prefer it wasn’t happening… and we’re also not going to do anything about it,'” she added.
Kulishova has, for her part, also tried filing complaints with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), only again to be met with resistance.
During one call with an OSHA representative, the rep reduced her complaint to a technical issue, claiming that USPS just needed to re-label its bathrooms as “gender neutral.”
Kulishova’s attempt to reach out to some state officials has also not worked.
“New York literally says people can use whichever bathroom they feel like,” she explained. “Obviously, it’s in conflict with federal law as well as common sense. USPS is a federal agency–they’re bound to federal law. Once you mention that, that should solve everything.”
Yet it hasn’t, despite the Trump administration being in power. The question remains, why, though?
