I once asked a Canadian woman who was extolling the virtues of self-id whether she realised that this case would demonstrate whether she and her fellow female citizens could be compelled by the state to touch male genitalia. Admittedly, while I was asking this question, it sounded utterly bonkers. She did not reply to that but did reject my argument that Canadian women had lost vital human rights because of their self-id system.
The following chilling passage shows that my thinking, however bonkers, is exactly where the Tribunal for Human Rights is heading:
In a May 30, 2019 ruling in JY v. Various Waxing Salons, the BC Human Rights Tribunal expressed its concern about the “rights” of transgender women to access “gender affirming” care such as waxing, which the Tribunal says is “critical,” even if this is “a very intimate service that is sometimes performed by women who are themselves vulnerable.”
Please note that the Tribunal is indeed struggling with this case, but not for the reasons we would expect (ie that women and girls have the right to set boundaries around their own bodies against all males, however they identify, and therefore must be allowed to refuse to touch male genitalia, especially in professions where this is not part of the work remit).
No, it turns out that some of the beauticians pursued by BalldeMort are from conservative religious backgrounds and/or immigrants from conservative backgrounds which have strict rules about physical contact between the sexes.
And it turns out that while the Tribunal continues to take no notice of BalldeMort's concerning obsession with "helping" menstruating pre-teen girls and his misogynist behaviour, it has deigned to notice his racist remarks. Which it is deeply troubled by.
In a sane world, his case would have been thrown out the second the court realised here is a male seeking to force females to touch male genitalia and rebuked him for harassment.
But that's not the world Canadian women live in anymore.
