Judge likens spa's women-only policy to 'whites only' (Ninth Circuit Court)
Twitchy.com ^ | 11/19/2024 | Brett T

It was back in 2021 when the Los Angeles Times reported on how "far-right rage over transgender rights at an L.A. spa led to chaos in the streets." Those transgender rights included the right for a biological male to expose himself to young girls in the women-only section of Wi Spa in Los Angeles, and the chaos in the streets came from Antifa.

As it turns out, the "woman" whose rights were being denied was a registered sex offender and was arrested after more than 15 months on the run from five felony counts of indecent exposure.

Now, Seattle's Jason Rantz reports that a judge has compared a spa's "women only" policy to "whites only."

NEW: In a puzzling and offensive exchange, a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals judge likened a female-only spa policy to a “whites only” policy. Wash. State is trying to force a nude spa for women to admit transgender woman (biological men).https://t.co/hyO8ABv4hQ

— Jason Rantz on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) November 19, 2024 Rantz writes:

In a puzzling and offensive exchange, a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals judge likened a female-only Olympus Spa policy to a “whites-only” policy. The remark was made during a federal appeals court hearing in which Olympus Spa is challenging the state of Washington for mandating the admission of transgender women (biological men) into the spa via the Washington Human Rights Commission.

Olympus Spa is a traditional Korean spa with locations in Tacoma and Lynnwood that operates under a “female-only policy” restricting transgender women unless they have “gone through post-operative sex confirmation surgery,” according to court documents. The spa cites the rule as “essential for the safety, legal protection, and well-being of our customers.”

… Judge M. Margaret McKeown appeared skeptical of a female-only admissions policy.

“If you have a law that says ‘white applicants only,’ this is ‘biological women entrance only.’ It seems to me they’re quite parallel there,” McKeown said. “And you can’t have ‘white people only’ come into my restaurant, and then you say, ‘Well, no, we have a religious, spiritual nature to our restaurant, and when you get there, we serve you special food.’ This seems quite different.”

No, they're not quite parallel. Race is something you're born with and can't change, and sex is something you're born with and can't change just by willing it so.

Democrats claim they're the party that protects women and yet encourages biological men to enter women's bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers.

Men who get off on women's discomfort must be able to live their fetishes in women's private spaces. Just another case of vice trying to pass itself off as virtue.

I'd imagine it would go out of business pretty quickly

Make Judge M. Margaret McKeown go to the spa naked when mens dongs are bouncing around in there! See how she feels!

— SwampNot (@SwampNot1) November 19, 2024

The people making these decisions need to be forced into the experience they are ruling on before the decision. One appointment at the spa with a man present to see what it’s like. That might make them feel differently.

Well, it is the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals. 🤡🤡🤡

— Dr. Paul (@SoCaPaul) November 19, 2024

Well it’s obvious these judges have some sexual issues that need to be investigated

— jay coffey (@jaycoffeyradio) November 19, 2024

That judge is insane.

— Jeremy (@green3delta) November 19, 2024

Does that make the disabled parking spots and toilets for people in wheelchairs chairs equivalent to “whites only” and they should be illegal? I mean, you can find discrimination in everything that you don’t like… and equate it to hate against a particular bias.

— AK (@kandrey89) November 19, 2024

We have a Supreme Court justice who can't tell you what a woman is.

If this is in Washington State then it’s getting what it voted for.

— BeamerBall (@BeamerCock) November 19, 2024

Trans women are simply asking for "kindness," allegedly. Why isn't it incumbent upon trans women to say to themselves, "I'm a woman with male genitalia and that might make the biological women upset. I think I'll leave the spa to them out of courtesy."

Where do the RATS find these so-called “judges”? Online Law School dropouts?

With this ruling, the “women only” spa will soon turn into a “trans only” bathhouse.

May as well go out of business right now, today.

Let’s not judge too quickly. She may really get off on the idea of having naked men around her.

...restricting transgender women unless they have “gone through post-operative sex confirmation surgery,”

No matter what body parts that are cut off or added on there is no such thing as changing your sex, the left has gotten away with changing the narrative and brought to the point of what we see today.

Sucks that it takes 2/3 of the Senate to remove a Federal judge. Impossible bar, only been done once (Alcee Hastings).

all you got to do ladies is vote with your feet. If the place looses 50% of it’s business, it won’t last long.

M. Margaret McKlown is a Rapin' Bill Clinton stooge-"judge", confirmed in 1998, 80 to 11.

Pretty unusual - back in those days, it was mostly voice vote, unanimous consent or yeas in the 90s.

Something is wrong with her that she only got 80 yea votes.

The question of sex changes and female impersonators aside, the proposition that a business can exclude or or the other of the two sexes is in fact closely analogous to racial restrictions on entry.

Chris Murphy (D-CT) wants to get a bunch of Democrats in a room with blue collar workers and convince them that they should join GLAAD. It is absolutely unbelievable that anyone is falling for this guy’s shtick. He is complete fraud.

Since they can't get us to agree with them on mentally ill trans-crazies through social media and scolding from the NYTs and WaPo, they think tricking us into a room and scolding us in person will do the job.

By this judge’s “logic”, all male and female sports leagues/bathroom is segregation and should be abolished.
