A popular women-only spa has generated controversy after a transgender client was allegedly refused service.

Recently, Body Blitz Spa, which operates two locations in downtown Toronto at 471 Adelaide St. W. and 497 King St. E., allegedly refused to admit a transgender woman to one of its facilities.

Weronika Rogula, who is friends with the transgender individual who was allegedly denied entry, wrote on their personal Facebook page that they’ll no longer be patronizing Body Blitz because of its policy.

Isn’t capitalism and free speech wonderful? Walk away from the establishment and that’s that. No more BS lawsuits.

I would frequent a place like that. I do *NOT* want men in my locker room. In this day and age, it is nice to know some businesses understand the concerns of women.

Weronika Rogula seems to think that they are a plural, and so maybe they should go to another spa, too. Surely a masseuse or facial aesthetician expects a singular client, not more than one at a time.

Shouldn't there be many facilities for transformers and plurals only, since it seems there are so many of them now? They ought to be the kind of economic power that generates businesses eager to serve them.

What do their private parts look like. I want to know but don’t want to see.

The lack of freedoms in Canada can get this spa shut down and owners in jail. Meanwhile, unless this guy had a chromosome transplant, he is still and always will be a man.

Another Freeper suggested substituting the word “fake” wherever the word “transgender” appears. Otherwise, these reports become almost impossible to interpret sensibly.

So is that a woman that’s pretending to be a man, or a man pretending to be a woman?

I’m super confused.

No such thing as “women only” anything.

Including showers.

Too bad most liberal womyn are too ugly to want to shower with.

But Title IV — gone. Equality among genders - gone.

The left just swallowed feminism wholesale.

It's still early, and judge-shopping takes time.

My mom used to go to a place called Curves which catered to women. Then one woman decided to bring her son along and threatened to sue if he wasn't allowed to join her.

My mom stopped going.

There are plenty of fitness clubs that are coed. I think it should be allowed to have single-sex fitness clubs especially for those who are embarrassed about showing their unfit bodies to the opposite sex.

It's actually harmful to the health of Americans to create conditions that discourage some from going to gyms, but try telling that to the fat-glorifying, trans-loving SJW's.

And we’re only one court decision behind. To quote a phrase

They should check private parts. If they don’t match gender identity immediate on site emergency surgery. Then let them in.

Let me guess that woman’s name was Norma Bates?

If that woman’s son was 5 years old or younger and just sat in the corner and played with his toys I’d have no problem but if he’s older then she needs to get a sitter or let him stay at home. I know about Curves and yes it’s a WOMEN’S gym.
