Spa can't discriminate against trans women, federal appeals court rules
I’m a bit torn on that one. The ban was about preop based on the article which… seems fair? As long as it’s not mixed baths in which case who cares what one’s sports. But a dick is a dick whoever has it.
I mean, are trans people who haven't had bottom surgery not supposed to use gender-separated locker rooms? Which one should we use? I go to a spa where I can change in the women's locker room and it's just very normal. I'm not concerning anyone with my dick and nobody's concerning themselves with mine. Granted, it seems patrons of this spa remain nude while using the facilities, but it's still a comparable example. If harassment / unwanted sexual advances are one's concern, then unfortunately that is just possible anyway and needs to be mitigated regardless of genital configuration. They could at least let her wear a swim skirt or something y'know?
Well there isn’t a whole lot of details in the article to start with but if this is just about lockers being branded it’s indeed stupid. But if the baths themselves are segregated there needs to be a line… or it’s mixed bath and then by all means, let everyone enjoy them. Also are those nude bath or can you put clothes on… we have both sorts here and yeah if it’s nude, and segregated I can see an argument. Clothed though that absolutely misplaced.
