This is where self id has got Canada to.

A male identifying as a woman is suing 16 mainly immigrant women who work from home as beauticians because they only provide brazilian waxing services for females.

Many others have settled out of court for a quiet life.

AIBU to think that no-one working from home in a vulnerable situation as these women are should be forced to wax the genitals of anyone they don't feel comfortable waxing?

No woman, vulnerable - religious - married - or otherwise, should be forced to handle penises if they don't want to. End of.

Yanbu.

Yanbu - it's not a human right to have your balls waxed.
The skin is different so she won't have the correct training.
There will be places that wax male genitalia but JY chooses people who are unable to.

ScaryBunnyPainting · 18/07/2019 08:39

It’s rape culture through and through to force someone to handle a penis.

Not to mention waxing men is a completely different skill set from waxing women - intimately at least.

QueenOfTheCroneAge · 18/07/2019 08:39

Surely there are men in the industry to offer this service? Oh wait, it's once again about forcing women to comply with male wants.

SquishySquirmy · 18/07/2019 08:42

No woman should be forced to touch male genitalia, or risk getting dragged through the courts for refusing.

I also think that lone workers working from home/going into clients homes should be allowed to refuse potential clients (male or female) if they get a creepy vibe from the messages/communications they receive form them.

And the person here excudes creepy vibes by the bucket load (and not because of their identity, but because of their words and actions).

Would be interested in the reasoning from the small % of yabus!

Sexnotgender · 18/07/2019 08:45

Someone voted YABU. JY is on here it seems.

And no YANBU. Someone REALLY needs to check the complainants hard drive.

HappyPunky · 18/07/2019 08:50

JY is the person who posted online asking if young girls would need help inserting tampons.

CurbsideProphet · 18/07/2019 08:51

For someone who wants to be accepted as a woman they're making it very publicly known that they have male genitalia. Is this part of the "women have penises too, ya know" rhetoric? Hmm

Of course YANBU but sadly there are many who believe that women should submit to every request.

eurochick · 18/07/2019 08:58

It is incredible that this has even got to court. It is blindingly obvious that no woman should be forced to touch a penis against her will. How have we got to a place where this is forgotten?!?

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 18/07/2019 09:00

Well, doesn't that person sound an absolute delight. What a very sad and unfulfilling life they must lead if the only way they can get their rocks off is by suing vulnerable women.

There seem to be some serious inadequacy issues at the heart of such a persistent bullying campaign.

Sportsdirectmug · 18/07/2019 09:03

He is a pervert with an interest in teenage girls. Calling him he will probably get this post deleted thou, such is the insanity of the world. A pervert man, demanding that religious women handle his genitals is entitled to his preferred pronouns but a woman is not entitled to refuse to touch his genitals.

chickenpeep · 18/07/2019 09:08

I think no biological or born female - or whatever the politically correct terminology is today - would ever click the YABU, unless they have done so by mistake.

In their shoes...I may have been tempted to wax as per for a biological female...and if obviously didn't work ripped the skin off their ball sack because of the physiological differences ...well meh.

In reality, I'd probably have been extremely intimidated as I was working from home alone, and (wouldn't want to touch someone's penis.)

Forcing someone to touch you in a sexual area when they have clearly indicated that they don't want to....I'm sure there is a name for that.

EC22 · 18/07/2019 09:12

That’s unbelievable! A bikini wax isn’t a human right!
How on earth does something like this get to court!?

IrmaFayLear · 18/07/2019 09:13

This person is a weirdo. I think the transgender community should shun them as they are merely using the label in order to legitimise perverted behaviour.

Ijustwanttoretire · 18/07/2019 09:13

Surely a Brazilian is waxing the labia? (Can't google it as I'm on works computer) in which case how could s/he possibly have a Brazilian if s/he doesn't have the correct "equipment"?

JangoInTheFamilyWay · 18/07/2019 09:16

Sorry, fat thumb here responsible for one YABU. You are def not U at all. Has this been picked up by any mainstream news source?

skybluee · 18/07/2019 09:17

That person is vile... read that awful stuff about them going into a changing room and saying what should they do if someone asks for a tampon and asking if you see people walking around with strings hanging out and all kinds of deranged stuff... it was really disturbing. They should not be allowed to behave like this.

Sugarplumfairy65 · 18/07/2019 09:17

Send the fucker to me ( not a qualified waxer) I'd do it nice and slow!

diddl · 18/07/2019 09:17

From the article - "for refusing to wax her male genitalia"

Give me bloody strength!

ReanimatedSGB · 18/07/2019 09:19

I think there should be enough evidence of this person's abusive and predatory behaviour for the court to find in favour of the beautician. This is clearly an abusive individual, not any kind of brave freedom fighter (and I expect there are a lot of transwomen feeling that JY has just made it a lot more difficult for them to get a wax if they want one.)

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 18/07/2019 09:20

Just been on that person's Twitter account. Could they BE any more boring?
