transgender rights vs Muslim rights

not a gay cake as such but you know what i mean

When the manager, Jason Carruthers returned her call, the complainant alleges he advised that Mad Wax does not provide waxing services to men and that his ‘waxer’ is a Muslim woman who is not comfortable waxing male parts. Carruthers also indicated no other staffwere available to perform the request.

The complainant claims to have offered to educate the manager on his duty to accommodate, then sought waxing services elsewhere.

Carruthers, who is the president and CEO of Mad Wax Windsor Camp Inc., confirmed he has been served with the complaint and has retained legal services from Ray Colautti.

“All clients regardless of sex, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation are welcome,” said Carruthers. “However, we also welcome staff members and respect their religious beliefs and feelings of safety and dignity in regards to the right not to perform waxing services on males or male genitals.”

The application to the HRTO says Carruthers’ “refusal to provide me with leg-waxing services because I am a Transgender woman, and their disclosing my name, gender identity and personal information to various media outlets has left me feeling threatened, exposed, with my rights violated in terms of seeking services as a woman in the Windsor-Essex community.”

Perhaps it should be made clear to staff exactly what is expected of them before the manager hires them.

Its a bit like the Muslim chemist who refused to sell condoms or morning after pills to customers...GET ANOTHER BLOODY JOB.

“I once again reiterate and state my position of Mad Wax Windsor Inc. that all clients regardless of sex, gender identity or sexual orientation are welcome,” he told the Windsor Star.

“However, we also welcome staff members and respect their religious beliefs and feelings of safety and dignity in regards to the right not to perform waxing services on males or male genitals.”

So they either wax all genders and any in between or they don't.

Why would a Muslim not sell condoms or the morning after pill???

they should be taken to court for the 2nd statement.
If you can't offer the services to all, then don't do business.
the only place for the concerns about magic sky giants is the insane asylum.  

pretty Simple, there is no right to be a therapist (or any job).
the idea of allowing discrimination in service is rightfully being abolished
