The traditional understanding

Anna Slatz at Reduxx:

A Seattle court has ruled that a female-only nude spa lacks the “constitutional right” to bar males from their facilities. The decision comes after the spa sued the Washington State Human Rights Commission (WSHRC), which had forced them to change their sex-exclusive policy due to the complaint of a transgender patron.

Human rights are for trans people, especially male trans people. They’re not for women. Obviously.

In May of 2020, a trans-identified male submitted a complaint to the WSHRC alleging discrimination on the basis of his gender identity.

Haven Wilvich had sought a membership at the Olympus Spa in January of 2020, but had been denied on the basis that he had not undergone “gender reassignment” surgeries and his penis was fully intact.

So?????? He says he’s a woman, and that’s the only criterion.

…the WSHRC ruled that the spa had violated Washington anti-discrimination law, stating that the female-only policy “denies services to transgender women who have not had surgery … because their physical appearance is not ‘consistent’ with the traditional understanding of biological women.”

Well that’s dishonest manipulative bullshit. It’s not about “appearance” – the penis can be deployed to rape women, and that’s not actually a rare or astonishing circumstance. The point is not “Oh no he doesn’t look like our antiquated idea of a woman,” the point is “This is for women and he’s a man.”

Haven Wilvich, the trans-identified male whose complaint resulted in the loss of the female-only space, boasted about his success on Facebook after the initial WSHRC ruling.

He doesn’t look like that.
