    Long story short, a trans woman is taking 16 (!) immigrant women to human rights court because they refused to wax her balls

    You can’t make this stuff up, this is so 2019

    Not sure this is what the folks who signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights had in mind when they signed it in 1948

    So, should women be forced to handle male genitalia or what?

    And who still waxes anyways? Laser that shit off yo

    Between the vegan firefighter and this bullshit, it calls into question the value of Human Rights Tribunals. :dayton:

    Waxing isn't a right, and it isn't medically necessary. So the rights end where they force someone else into a position of sexual harassment or assault. And t. here is also a viable alternative, that can be done in privacy. Sounds like some moron trying to stir some shit for the sole purpose of stirring shit.

    Yeah it would be nice if they focused on actual human rights cases instead of farces like these

    A lot of us knew this would happen though

    We had a thread about this exact case a while back. A few of the usual suspects screamed transphobia then ran away afraid to actually answer any questions.

    For the record, no, the women running the waxing salon should have the complete freedom to decide if they don't want to touch the nasty ball sack of some mentally ill man. He should just suck it up and go some where else where his business is wanted. Your delusions end when you try to force them upon other people.

    No, not a single person who posted in that thread supported it and for the record I don't either.

    Dealt with in the other thread, but it's worth noting that the salon owner is being represented by the "Alberta-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms," which is a bible-thumping hate group run by John Carpay, Jason Kenney's bff. Carpay is the loser that can't stop comparing pride flags to swastikas. :shrug:

    On the flip side, apparently I can take someone to court in hopes of legally requiring small non english speaking asian women to touch my balls? Sweet!

    But that didn’t stop @14thDoctor and the rest of Wokeforge crying buckets in the context of it.

    It's not gender discrimination, because they wouldn't wax a cis man with male genitalia either. It's not anti-trans discrimination, because presumably they would wax a trans man with female genitalia. It's just a service they don't provide.

    Completely irrelevant to the issue, as is the fact that the salon owner might be an asshole.

    Being true to forum 14D continues to claim everyone he disagrees with is a Nazi or member of some mythical "hate group". Hell, the guy does sound religious and might be a dick (all I know about him is the claims 14D made) but he could very well be raising legit legal issues even if 14D doesn't like him.

    There are actually two issues: one involves whether legitimate discrimination took place; the other involves whether Human Rights Tribunals often exceed their authority.

    The parties representing the complainant and defendant are entirely irrelevant to the issue, whether they're odious individuals or not.

    P.S. - the correct answer to the questions are "no" and "yes", respectively.

    Meh, waxing my balls would be pointless, as I'm a hairy mofo :brood:

    Also, holy shit, the idea of ripping the berries off the twig, holy shit! :shep:

    If we just made it something that old white republicans did when staying at trump properties I think we would see @Dinner and rightforge changing their mind about it. It is not a matter of saying no when you are a slave at a spa forced to give rub and tugs to trump's friends.

    OTOH I learned there are better ways to remove hair from nuts than using the duct tape solution.

    Chad's balls are probably shiny as a polished turd with all the time they spend in rightforge's mouth. I bet having @Marso suck on them for a few hours until they shine is probably more comfortable than ripping the hair out by the roots with hot wax. Maybe sugaring would be somewhat more comfortable.

    I don't recall there really being many cries of transphobia, including from our trans members?

    EDIT: Just seen the bump, you've completely misrepresented how that thread went. You aren't even close....
