Something horrible happened last night.
I tried to relax by going to a Korean spa. At the women only section, where everyone was nude, there was a dude.
Imagine my and this other woman's shock.
If anyone remembers, or even knows, this happened in 2021 at a Korean spa and the video of women and girls complaining to the front desk went viral. More importantly, how the staff and bystanders (men) were scolding these women were being exposed. (Search "wi spa male in women's)
In the comment of that video, someone said "it's a weird world when the young white male millennial is lecturing a black woman about prejudice." I'm not going to get into the race debate, but this quote accurately depicted the crazy world we live in right now.
And back to last night. There was a little girl (probably 7 or 8 years old, I think of middle eastern background, her parents still have accents) in the spa, she and her mom got very shocked by the scene of the guy (looked like a young teen) so they went to talk to the staff.
The older Korean female employee with her heavy accent told them in a "talking-down-on-you" kind of tone:"She identifies as female! Transgender."
The girl and her mom looked all annoyed and confused and walked away.
I got out of that place as fast as I can and I'm sure I'll still have to process that trauma for days to come. But this little girl stayed on my mind and I pray for her not to be affected by this. This one very messed-up experience could change so much of how she approaches sex or it could affect her in many ways because it indeed was a trauma.
And btw, how much non-thinking did the Korean woman have to do to just regurgitate some bull crap like this and acted like this mother-daughter was the ignorant ones.
