      doesn't matter. If your service says "women only", by UK law at least you're allowed to continue that service This doesn't matter in this situation, b/c by all legal counts Jess is a woman. So yes, if they refused her service because they believe she's a man, it's discriminationhttps://twitter.com/MForstater/status/1153777552915410946 …

      M & F arm waxing are functionally the same. The point is the woman is allowed to only offer service only to people of the same sex as her because she doesn't feel comfortable in personal contact alone w a man in his house. That's allowed (in UK, let's both assume Canada similar)

      In the UK at least she could because Sch 3 s.29 of EqA, even if the person's legal sex has been changed to female.

      We'll have to agree to disagree about that (re s28, not 29 my bad) until there are cases, but certainly EHRC withdrew its unequivocal statement suggesting having a GRC always entitles someone to access single sex services for opposite biological sexhttps://twitter.com/OnlyObjectivity/status/1049340702507913216?s=19 …

      I've just this minute been told by the EHRC that the Equality Act guidance has been changed, and the new version was published on Friday as promised to Fair Play for Women. http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/sites/default/files/what-equality-law-means-for-your-business-2018.pdf …

      My Q though is... Yaniv is a "bad 🍎" but say a male person w gender ID woman demands that women who give massages only to women also attend to their naked body: u see as quite a different situation? Not a bad 🍎 but totally normal & any discomfort the woman feels is bigotry?

      "demands"? If you offer a service for women but refuse one woman because she's trans, or gay or black or whatever - how is this not textbook discrimination?

      Yes that's pretty much the same argument Yaniv made in the tribunal "they offer Brazilian waxing (i.e. for women ), I'm a woman why should I be excluded just because I have a penis and testes"

      Because they specifically offer waxes for vaginas. She doesn't have one, so she doesn't get service. If she had one, and they refused? She'd have every right to cry discrimination.

      And although I'd support the fact it would be discrimination in that case. I wouldn't support Yaniv all the same. She's shown her self to be abusive, predatory and extremely creepy - on that basis alone - literally anyone can deny her services in intimate areas.

      What is it she's done that's creepy? As far as she's concerned she's just chatted with girls about girl stuff, taken a few selfies in the ladies loo. Why do you think it's creepy for a woman to do that?

          I think it's creepy for any grown ass adult to ask teenagers about or ask about teenagers periods and whether they should help them insert tampons. If you did this I would equally ask for you to be under the same caution Jessica should be under.

          So a male identifying as a girl, at age 15 say, to try to involve themself in the normal chats that girls have between themselves about their periods that's fine ? Not creepy at all ? And if the girls feel uncomfortable they are being bigots?
