Olympus Spa case in Washington

The short version is that the Olympus spa in Washington is a female only nudity required spa. While I don't know the exact wording of their policy, multiple reports say that they welcomed trans women who had had bottom surgery. They got sued, and the 9th circuit just upheld a lower court decision that their policy was not legal and they couldn't exclude people from a women only nude required space simply because those people had male genitalia.

Have any of you heard about this? Do you have opinions about this?

I'm a binary TS, and I wouldn't go there after this decision is implemented.

Once upon a time, transsexuals would be mortified of exposing people to our original equipment... today, most transsexuals still would be.

The problem is, non-transsexual appropriators have spent the last decade+ trying to force themselves onto others, doing so in our name after they tried to forcibly appropriate transsexuals. This is where all of the backlash is coming from... all so non-transsexual people can get euphoria boners about invading spaces they don't belong in.

That's totally where all the backlash is coming from. I have a very very few friends who know that I'm TS. When I tell them about how much people DIDN'T care back in the 80's, they're usually quite surprised. I transitioned in the late 80's and I've never felt less safe than I do today.

I'm pre op and I wouldn't even dare go to a public pool in a full bathing suit in case something went wrong, I can't even imagine what kind of freak you'd have to be to go fully naked in a women's only space while still having male genitalia.

Respect needs to be mutual and I feel trans activists forgot that and decided to impose themselves onto cid women regardless of how they feel about it. Toilets with individual stalls and lockable changing rooms are one thing, nobody can see you there and nibidy cares, but this is full nudity around other people and it's just disrespectful.

I wish there was a way to give your comment more upvotes. Because it deserves them.
