Tranny experiences horrifying human rights violation

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/body-blitz-transgender-policy-1.4158397

A popular women-only spa is at the centre of a social media maelstrom after a transgender woman said she was not allowed to enter because of a policy forbidding male genitalia.



Transgender author Jia Qing Wilson-Yang tweeted on Friday that her wife had hoped to make her a surprise appointment at Body Blitz, a water circuit spa with multiple locations in Toronto, but had been told that Wilson-Yang would not be allowed in.

my wife tried to book me a surprise appt @bodyblitzspa but they won't allow 'male genitalia' at the spa and told us not to come https://twitter.com/gracietornado/status/873242720151773184 …

Since then, a flurry of tweets and posts on the spa's Facebook page have seen people lining up on both sides of the debate, with some slamming the policy as discriminatory and others applauding it.
"My homegirls and I love this spa!! Thank you for keeping women safe," reads one post on the Body Blitz Facebook page.
"As this city prepares to celebrate and honour its great wonderful diversities, your cowardly bullying actions are truly a revolting juxtaposition," reads another.

NDP critic for LGBT issues wades in
On Tuesday, High Park MPP and NDP critic for LGBT issues Cheri DiNovo released a statement criticizing the spa for what she described as "blatant transphobia and violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code."
"Remember lesbians and gays banned from change rooms of health clubs? This is the same thing," DiNovo was quoted as saying.
Other people have shared similar stories to Wilson-Yang, with one commenter reporting that a transgender friend had been called shortly before their booking to tell them not to come due to their rule regarding male genitalia.

Body Blitz responds
Another woman said a staff member told her that the spa's rule was that "as long as this is gone," before waving her hand over her pelvis.



Body Blitz, whose management declined an interview with CBC Toronto, wrote in an email that they "support the LGBTQ community and recognize that this is a sensitive issue. However, because Body Blitz Spa is a single-sex facility with full-nudity, we are not like other facilities."

They had also responded previously in the form of a Facebook post, saying that owners are working with a "civil rights professional" over the summer to help create a "clear and fair policy."

What do other women-only spas do?
A representative of Sweetgrass, another women-only spa in Toronto, told CBC Toronto that it does not have any policy in place regarding transgender women — but it plans to seek legal advice to ensure that it's being inclusive to all clientele.

The situation is different at Sweetgrass, explained spa director Monique Joustra, because clients are not nude together and typically wear robes during treatments.

She said she was "never aware" of a transgender woman coming to the spa, but that doesn't mean none have come, because it's possible they came in and received services without incident.

I hate to go on my American court supremacy thing again, but in Murrica, the Land of Freedom, all administrative courts are subject to appeal to a real court. Even the really powerful ones like immigration courts.

As a Canadian, I wouldn't begrudge you for pointing out that the American system is, to any thinking person, objectively superior in this respect.

Ontario isn't the only province with a state SJW "human rights" gestapo either. The Alberta Human Rights Commission spent over $500,000 of taxpayer dollars investigating a magazine publisher who printed the Mohammad cartoons, and the publisher had to spend over $100,000 in legal fees, because a Muslim filed a human rights complaint (which is quick, easy and requires no fee for the complainant to do). The complaint was dismissed in the end but that hardly seems like a victory.

Personally I love how Canada was just recently crowing about emulating Sweden's model of a "feminist" government and here we are finding out there's a court system--beholden to no one--with the apparent express purpose of criminalizing women who feel uncomfortable with a dude waving his dong around them.

Unfortunately I think the spa was in a catch 22 situation. They would have been financially ruined even if they had allowed the tranny to enter. I mean, can you imagine any customers ever returning to patronize their business after seeing this thing leering at them naked from across the sauna?

Fucking looks like Frankenstein's troon.

Looks like a young john malkovich in drag

And sadly hardly anyone notices or cares and, for the most part, the only people (quite rightly) bitching about Human Rights Commissions have been right-wing maniacs that most people have trained themselves to ignore. Ezra Levant was the publisher I was referencing...he's a dipshit but was 100% spot on and correct where the AHRC is concerned.

Just goes to show that governments can create astonishingly authoritarian bodies that go completely against all liberal democratic principles that our society is based upon, dress them up with an Orwellian name and social justice pretenses, and hardly anyone will bat an eye. It's infuriating.

So, what I'm taking from this is being allowed to go to a specific spa is a human right now.

 

[Intelligent Calcium]

Good.

Is it? This is exactly what she wanted - raise a stink by going to the one spa that forbids floppy dicks to get media attention while her crowdfunding campaign is live. If they said something like "well, normally we don't allow male cocks in our female-only space, but it's a slow day so we'll make an exception for you" she probably would've just left.

How did 0.03% of the population manage to have their human rights supersede 50% of the population's?

It's easy when you deem the discomfort of the 50% to be a hatecrime.
Which is what all this is about, always.

"You don't like an aspect of what I do? You're a bigot and a [buzzword ending in -ist]! Either you support me wholeheartedly in all aspects uncontestedly or we will no longer consider you a human being and declare it ok to beat you up with a flagpole during a protest!"

If you want lots of media attention it is.

It has reached Rat King Twitter. Zinnia ´I show my penis to everyone´ Jones comments. Surprisingly they are getting a lot of flak for their BS.

The tranny and wife or whatever Twitter threads.

"It's a women's spa, not a no penis space"

this statement is radiant with all of the colors of the autistic spectrum . Technicolor autism

Given that this kerfuffle started over the spa's "no male genitalia" rule, I'd say it's very much a "no penis space".

If Zinnia wants the world to be divided into penis spaces and non-penis spaces rather than men's and women's spaces, that's fine with me. It's just going to mean that most trans women will have to use the penis spaces, though.

"Honey, my book's been out for a year and nobody's buying despite all these wonderful reviews in all these lovely LGBTWTFBBQ spaces. What should I do?"

"Hold my strap-on, I got a plan."

And so the Zoe Quinn school of self-promotion continues to grow.

Also, it's nice to know that this person is the self-loathing type to bitch about the Irish side of her ancestry being "colonizing" "white folk" (not kidding) and applaud her Chinese side. It's curious that nowhere included are the actual Chinese characters for her chosen name. Chinese names mean things, and you'd think a professional storyteller could produce an amusing story about the choice of name (and I could sperg about this name in particular but I'll leave that to a professional).

Oh, and if you hate yourself, look up the alternate name "Kit Wilson-Yang" and witness the mediocre horror that crops up on vimeo. Wilson-Yang also goes by "Chris Wilson-Yang". Seems like someone has or had issues settling on how to invent themselves.

Its funny how even once they put on a dress, there are still guys who insist that women be forced to acknowledge their cock.

Troons getting any kind of victory is s net loss for society.

I feel really bad for the owner. All these trans women looking for women-only spaces that don't allow penises so they can gang up on them are ruining a lot of livelihoods and clubs. (Especially any groups that cater to lesbians.)

A lot of women probably feel that they may as well throw in the towel and stay at home lest their next girl's night out be declared a hate crime.

Well, if you want to appeal an IRS win in Tax Court in a regular federal district court/whatever the Appeals court is I'm pretty sure you have to pay the full balance due (tax + penalty & interest) first.
