A divided three-judge 9th Circuit panel today upheld a lower court ruling that requires a traditional nude Korean spa for women in Washington state to allow men access. The Spa argued that the state violated their First Amendment rights to free speech, free exercise of religion, and free association.

Judge Lee, a Korean-American Trump appointee, wrote a dissent arguing that state anti-discrimination laws do not apply to transgender identity and expressing outrage that, under this rule, girls would be forced to be naked in the presence of naked men.

At oral argument, the spa’s attorney contended that Washington’s public accommodation law should not apply to the spa, stating that “naked women and teenage girls are not publicly available services that males are entitled to view when females do not consent.”

The government is allowing men to trample on the basic rights of women and girls once again.
