I’m sure many of you have seen the video that exploded over the weekend, recorded by a woman aghast at seeing a nude man in the woman-only section of a spa in LA – Wi Spa. The original is here featuring the pathetic posturing of the woke bro who muttered, “Well, maybe she’s trans” and concluded his fine argument with, “Well, you’re a dick!”
This isn’t an exact transcript, but a summary, sort of. The protesting woman’s words are italicized.
There was a nude man in the woman’s section of the spa.
Well, if he identifies to us as a woman….
So if I want to go to the men’s section, I can say I’m a man ..
Uh, well…if you identify…
Oh, so we can lie…..
Okay, I’m white….(the woman is Black)…I’m identifying as white…
Well…
So you’re telling me that you can look at a person, you can see their penis, you can know that he is a man…but if he says he’s a woman he can go in the woman’s section.
Blah, blah, gender-based discrimination..
It’s not discrimination. It’s an imposter. You cannot identify an imposter, someone faking themselves being a woman just because they want to call themselves a woman.
It’s about women’s SAFETY.
Of course, you have to feel for the manager. All of this is California state law, probably local law and probably corporate policy. She probably hates it as much as anyone. But the threat of lawsuits….and you know they’ll come.
But Cubana Angel is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Even laying aside the impossibility of changing sex – can’t happen, folks – gender self-id opens up every single woman and girl’s space to those who would exploit that “right” they can be sexually aroused and/or harm females.
In other related news, let’s see…
The Supreme Court let stand the Virginia girl-in-the-boys bathroom case. The more optimistic tea-leaves readers at Ovarit say that the decision at least spares us the possibility of the policy being confirmed at the Supreme Court level, explicitly. But there are more doubters.
So get ready for your public-school daughters to literally go all day without using the restrooms at their school because they don’t want to share that space with any boy. What will happen, I imagine is that schools, in anticipation, will just declare all restrooms gender neutral.
What else?
There were Pride marches in Europe over the weekend, and more than a few violence-against-TERF signage in evidence, including “KILL JK ROWLING.” In Spain, women gathered to protest proposed gender self-identification laws and were physically attacked by trans activists. Just a normal week. More at Glinner.
Finally, circling back – as we say – to the incident in LA – one of the persistent topics of conversation among radical feminists opposing trans rights is their anxiety and discomfort with the fact that their only real allies in this fight are political and social conservatives. Oh – freakin’- well. The Instagram account of the “based spa woman” is called “Cubana Angel” with a descriptive “Christ is King” – and she doesn’t leave the spa without letting everyone know that the fight is on “in the blood of Jesus.”
It’s going to be …interesting. And who knows. Maybe the possibility will dawn on one or two on this strange journey that if to say a man can become a woman is based on biological fantasy and general unreality, maybe saying that the creature growing inside a woman’s uterus isn’t a human being might be too…
Crazier things have happened. I think.
Update:
I don’t listen to, much less watch many/any youtubers or podcasts – I mean, who has the time or interest in listening to someone go on about their own dramas when we’ve all got our own? Even more informational podcasts- except for my stalwarts like In Our Time – I don’t have the patience for because I’d rather spend five minutes reading what you have to say rather than 30 minutes watching.
An exception is Karen Davis’ You’re Kidding Right? I don’t watch/listen to every single one, but I check with her about once a week to see what she has to say. And yes, she takes this on. She’s very good, clear and precise in her takes. And entertaining.
