I understand the Wi Spa now has signs all over the entrance saying “we support transwoman”. No one has ripped down those signs.

They also have signs, not removed, before the entrances to the sex-segregated spaces saying that *males* going inside to spy on women and girls undressing, and/or to undress themselves, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

The problem is that this- allowing them in if they say at the front desk that they’re female- is prosecuting them to the full extent of the law now. It is the law to let any men in if he says he is a woman.

And the Wi Spa, likely to avoid losing business, has not put up any flyers to announce the change, or (like some other spas) started requiring clothing worn on bottom in the supposedly “sex-segregated” spaces.

So yes, Wi Spa is responsible for this, too, for lying by omission.

they better cause no decent women or women with children will come there anymore. They better court the tw that's all they have left.

I suspect that when women and girls stop using the female changing rooms there'll be a sudden drop in men identifying as women attending.

Where would be the fun for them?

A room full of penised TW undressing in front of each other... I'm guessing that wouldn't feel very "validating" to them. And that's how we know that even TW don't think other TW are women.

There was a story from I think, last year where a TiM bullied his work into letting him use the Ladies and then complained to HR when the women went to another floor to use the loo because they didn't want to share with him.

Reminds me of a story I read on Reddit about a transwoman who brought home what he thought was a woman turned out to be a transwoman.

Lo and behold, there *was* a genital preference after all.

A lot of these men end up with each other. One of the murders the liberals shed tears over was one "transwoman" murdering his "transwoman" friend when they argued over who was prettier. And gendertrender had on a couple who did something called Transradio (?); she was a transman and he was a transwoman, they were in a relationship, and they eventually came to accept that she was a woman and he was a man.

In the photo I saw, the signs seemed to be left there by activists, not the spa. Hand made signs. I kind of hate that the spa is probably in an impossible position, but I don’t see any way out of this without calling attention to the places where this is all happening.

I'm not very knowledgeable about US or California laws, would they have something similar to the equality act where there are exemptions to including TW in female spaces? The Spa might be legally bound to allow it or they might just be acquiescing to demands from TRAs. Be interesting to see the actual law surrounding this over there.

California law requires it in all businesses, yes. Federal law requires it in (honoring self-ID) in schools, prisons, federally-funded shelters whether homeless, rape crisis, or DV, etc., since Biden signed an executive order to this effect on January 1st, completely bypassing the judiciary to sign self-ID into law, his very first day in office.

Republican trans woman Jennifer Pritzker paid for his campaign, just like Obama’s, so he’s beholden.

Ever seen Jennifer? He's got hands like baseball mitts and shoes you could use for kayaks. I guess the plastic surgeons haven't figured out a way to "feminize" giant hands and feet.

He's ex-military too, isn't he? There's a lot of them about.

Is he? He's from an extremely wealthy family and they don't usually join the military. But you're right that a lot of these creepy older men who think they're beautiful young women are ex-military, along with being homophobic, racist Republicans.
