May 30, 2025 | Federal court rules ladies only nude spa MUST let fellas bathe with 13-year-old girls

 

Hi everyone!
 

The Ninth Circuit ruled last night that the Olympus Spa, a Korean, Christian, women's only, nude spa with a few locations in Washington state, must allow biological males who claim to be women to use their facilities. This means that female nude patrons will be exposed to the man who is exposing himself and that female staff, who undertake scrubbing and massaging nude women, would be made to scrub and massage naked men.

Katie Daviscourt writes that the case will likely end up in the Supreme Court. But that's going to be of little help to the Olympus Spa, which is unlikely to have any patrons or staff if they're forced to comply with this ruling. The spa is for women aged 13 and over and it's not only absurd but dangerously permissive for a court to decide that grown men get access to young, nude, teen girls just because they say they're afflicted with the delusion that they were born in the wrong body.

 

The spa was explicit in its marketing that it is for biological women only, and this is something one of the judges, a woman appointed by Bill Clinton, took issue with. "It's not really 'biological women are welcome.' It means non-biological women are not welcome," said Ninth Circuit Judge McKewon, who should be ashamed of herself. In this statement, she has invoked, a chimera, a unicorn, a jackalope—non-biological women DO NOT EXIST. What makes a woman a woman IS her biology. That's it, that's the thing, that's the only thing. Sure, there's window dressing, but that is surface, not substance.

 

My guess is McKewon would know exactly the difference between men and women should a fella saunter into her sauna while she's undressed and stands there with his dick out. Ladies, come on now, none of us is that stupid, not even a boomer Bill Clinton-appointed federal judge.

 

Judge Kenneth Lee offered a blistering dissent, leaning into the Korean and Christian aspects of the spa. "Korean spas are not like spas at the Four Seasons or Ritz-Carlton with their soothing ambient music and lavender aroma in private lounges. Steeped in centuries-old tradition, Korean spas require their patrons to be fully naked, as they sit in communal saunas and undergo deep-tissue scrubbing of their entire bodies in an open area filled with other unclothed patrons. Given this intimate environment, Korean spas separate patrons as well as employees by their sex," Lee said.

 

"Now, under edict from the state," he continued, "women - and even girls as young as 13 years old - must be nude alongside patrons with exposed male genitalia as they receive treatment. And female spa employees must provide full-body massages to naked preoperative transgender women with intact male sexual organs." Lee argued that the Washington state law that bans discrimination against sex and sexual orientation has been distorted.

 

McKewon said it was like a race thing, where if the spa was saying no black people, that would be illegal so banning men is also illegal. The only difference, and of course, it's a glaringly obvious one, is that all races have two sexes! There's no "race" where men and women don't exist as separate, distinct entities. Race and sex are both protected characteristics, but separation by sex is a long-standing practice that is necessitated by the actual, real, biological differences between men and women.

 

The decision was that the spa couldn't bring their claim under the First Amendment, which the spa said was being violated by the state's demand. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly. Before the trans craze, we didn't need laws and regulations to tell us that women who wanted to have nude spa treatments were permitted to do so without the gaze of men, without having to gaze upon men. This case is the epitome of what a relativist worldview has humbled us to—not only do we now not know collectively the difference between men and women, but we're supposed to be cool with letting men ogle nude little girls while forcing Christian women to give them massages. Aces.

 

So after that flurry of action yesterday on Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs, a court has ruled in his favor, at least temporarily while the appeal is underway. Trump lawsuits are like that old saying about the weather: don't like it? Wait five minutes. It would be hard to keep track of all the suits against the Trump administration going through the courts. There's a bunch on immigration because every immigration case needs to be filed in the district where the illegal immigrant on whose behalf the case is being filed is being held.

 

This has kept the ACLU rather busy, There are a bunch of visa cases, too, and cases about temporary protected status. There's cases about the Department of Education, I think there's one about the National Endowment for the Arts, and there's still more about the right of the executive branch to fire people at federal agencies. If memory serves, there's some 119 cases in all.

 

I hope you all have a stellar weekend, I do think we've earned it.

Here's what's on my desk today:
