Someone seemed to be implying closed borders in Australia.

Besides, false equivalency works both ways.

There are places in the world where people who are different are being slaughtered for being different, Christians as an example, and we should do more than lip service, at the same time, we don't need to go around doing the same, and killing people, simply because they're different.

No more 'safe spaces' for CIS women?

Weronika Rogula: “Women-only spaces should not be for cis (someone who identifies with the sex they were born as) women only, but all women including trans women who are women. We know this and so should they.”

Body Blitz: “We support the LBGTQ community and recognize that this is a sensitive issue. However, because Body Blitz Spa is a single-sex facility with full-nudity, we are not like other facilities. We recognize that this is an important discussion for single-sex facilities to have and we will seek to find a satisfactory resolution.”

Either that business will say screw off and or the courts rule in their favor for the RIGHTS of the biological women or women without a penis.
Likely the court will have to rule transgender is allowed in (with a penis) if their government id has Female as sex. Govt would be in a catch 22...legal document says Female but we will not let the "Female" into the Female only spa:lmao:



Will the feminists or those current women members of the spa draw a line and protest back to ask what about our rights.

This should be a good educational situation.:lmao:

it's already been ruled as discrimination. I suspect a transgender individual will attempt to use the facilities, be rejected, and then file a discrimination complaint. May not receive much punitive damages, but will be a news item and result in lawyers making some coin. Sjw fulfilment.


the Canadian Kangaroo Court held in kavanagh v. Canada (attorney general), (2001 canlii 8496, 41 c.h.r.r. D/119 (c.h.r.t.)) that discrimination on the basis of “transsexualism” is discrimination on the basis of sex or disability. The canadian human rights commission’s faq page for complaints now explicitly recognizes that gender identity is an aspect of gender to be recognized within the federal code.

Feminist and Bernie Sanders supporter Camille Paglia isn’t toeing the liberal party line when it comes to transgenderism.

“The cold biological truth is that sex changes are impossible. Every single cell of the human body remains coded with one’s birth gender for life,” she told The Weekly Standard in an interview published June 15.

The author of “Sexual Personae”, Paglia identifies herself as “a registered Democrat who voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary and for Jill Stein in the general election.”

“It is certainly ironic how liberals who posture as defenders of science when it comes to global warming (a sentimental myth unsupported by evidence) flee all reference to biology when it comes to gender,” said Paglia.

Ryan Anderson, a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, agrees about the importance of biology to the discussion.

“The best biology, psychology, and philosophy all support an understanding of sex as a bodily reality, and of gender as a social manifestation of bodily sex. Biology isn’t bigotry, and we need a sober and honest assessment of the human costs of getting human nature wrong,” said Anderson, author of the forthcoming book on transgenderism, “When Harry Became Sally.”

Paglia also condemned calls for “special rights, protections, or privileges” for transgender men and women:

In a democracy, everyone, no matter how nonconformist or eccentric, should be free from harassment and abuse. But at the same time, no one deserves special rights, protections, or privileges on the basis of their eccentricity. The categories ‘trans-man’ and ‘trans-woman’ are highly accurate and deserving of respect. But like Germaine Greer and Sheila Jeffreys, I reject state-sponsored coercion to call someone a ’woman’ or a ‘man’ simply on the basis of his or her subjective feeling about it. We may well take the path of good will and defer to courtesy on such occasions, but it is our choice alone.

Paglia, the daughter of Italian immigrants, is a professor at The University of Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She has authored several cultural critique books such as “Sexual Personae” and “Free Men, Free Women”.

She holds an undergraduate degree from Binghamton University and a graduate degree from Yale University where she claims she was the only openly gay student. An enduring figure in academia, she has not shied away from criticizing Democrats, including comparing Bill Clinton to Bill Cosby.
