Let's Save Olympus Spa
I was genuinely shocked when I learned what happened to Olympus Spa in Lynnwood. I kept asking myself. How? Why? How is something like this even possible in America?
At first, I assumed this would never hold up in court. I thought there was no way the people of Washington had voted for this. And I was right they didn't. The voters never decided this. The state legislature did.
They passed a law declaring that a biological male including one with male genitalia could be legally recognized as a woman by the state. A new driver's license. A new legal designation. And then the state turned to places like Olympus Spa a women only business where patrons are nude and said:
"You must let him in. Or we will sue you."
It did not matter that female customers were deeply uncomfortable being unclothed around biological males. It did not matter that this directly violated the sincere religious beliefs of a Korean owned women's spa. It did not matter that this could devastate their business or push them out of existence entirely. Their beliefs did not matter. Their customers' privacy did not matter. Their survival did not matter.
And when the courts upheld it ruling that Olympus Spa had no legal right to say no that was my breaking point.
This is one of the reasons Donald Trump won in 2024. And it is one of the reasons I am running for Congress in 2026. It feels as though the Democratic Party is deliberately pushing away moderates and working class voters, handing them directly to the Republican Party.
Perhaps the legislators who supported this law had good intentions. I will give them that. But as the old saying goes. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
A Clear Line
If some Democrats want to continue arguing that a man becomes a woman simply by feeling like one, that is their choice. But in a space like Olympus Spa where women are naked and vulnerable the standard should be straightforward:
No one with male genitalia is permitted.
This is not about hatred. It is not about denying anyone's identity. It is about common sense, informed consent, and the protection of women's dignity and privacy.
Olympus Spa was a wake up call for me. I always thought the more extreme versions of gender ideology were misguided, but I never imagined the state would use its full legal power to force women to undress next to biological males. That is not progress. That is coercion.
This is the line. This is where we stand for reason, for rights, and for reality.
If you agree, stand with me. If you disagree, that is your right but do not expect women to remain silent.
And if the Democratic Party continues to ignore common sense on issues like this, we will keep losing elections. We need to fix this before it is too late. Let's restore the right of women to say no.
A Distinction That Matters
I believe most Americans gay, straight, or anywhere in between support basic fairness and the principle of live and let live. The fight for gay and lesbian rights was won through decades of difficult, courageous work, and most people in this country respect and honor that progress. But today, a small and vocal activist movement is pushing positions that the vast majority of Americans do not accept and the backlash it is generating is causing real harm to the entire LGBTQ community.
There is a critical distinction that too many politicians and judges refuse to acknowledge.
There are transgender women who genuinely transition who undergo hormone therapy, surgery, and permanent life changes and who simply want to live quietly and in peace. Many of these individuals actually support reasonable boundaries, because they understand the reality of biological differences. They are not the issue.
The issue is a separate and very different group. Biological males who have undergone no medical transition whatsoever no hormones, no surgery, no lasting commitment who put on a wig, apply makeup, and then demand to be treated as women in every context. Competitive sports, locker rooms, spas, and restrooms. That is not a sincere identity. That is not authenticity. Most people recognize it for exactly what it is. And it is disrespectful not only to women, but to transgender people who have genuinely committed to a lifelong transition.
This extreme agenda forcing women to compete athletically against biological males, pushing contested gender ideology into schools, and compelling businesses like Olympus Spa to admit biological males into intimate women only spaces is not helping anyone. It is eroding years of hard won progress, fueling deep resentment, and handing ammunition to the very people who still oppose basic gay and lesbian rights. Reasonable boundaries protect everyone. Pretending those boundaries do not exist is not progress. It is chaos.
Where I Stand
The government does not get to redefine biology. The government does not have the right to erase women only spaces. And the government certainly does not have the authority to compel private businesses especially those providing intimate services involving nudity to abandon common sense and basic safety standards.
Olympus Spa has stood firm. I stand with them.
If elected to Congress, I will support legislation that protects women only spaces particularly those involving nudity, religious practice, or intimate personal care. I will work to establish a clear legal standard. For the purposes of such spaces, a woman is defined as a person without male genitalia. No activist organization, no bureaucratic panel, and no judge should be able to override that basic and obvious reality.
This is not anti-anyone. It is pro-woman, pro-reality, and pro-common-sense.
Women deserve privacy. Women deserve safety. Women deserve spaces where they are not compelled to be naked in the presence of biological males. That is not discrimination. That is dignity.
And as your representative in Congress, I will fight to make sure that dignity is protected under the law. Common sense is not transphobic .
The current law as it stands now. Puts women in danger. In California a man went to prison. Then said he identified as female. He was then sent to a women’s prison. Where he sexually assaulted a female inmate . The same thing happened in Washington. A former inmate at the Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW) in Gig Harbor has filed a lawsuit against the Washington Department of Corrections, alleging sexual harassment and constitutional violations while she was incarcerated. Mozzy Clark, the plaintiff, claims that WCCW staff placed her in a cell with a “biological male” inmate, identified as C.W., who was transferred from a men’s prison after declaring a gender identity change. According to the lawsuit, C.W., who is 6′4″ and a convicted sex offender, subjected Clark to repeated harassment and sexual assault.
In addition to appealing the court's decision . Below are options Olympus Spa should also try.
📄 1. Bill Draft (Washington State Legislative)
TITLE:
An Act Relating to Preserving the Privacy and Safety of Intimate Services; Adding a New Section to Chapter 49.60 RCW.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION.
A new section is added to chapter 49.60 RCW to read as follows:
(1) Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter, a place of public accommodation that offers intimate services involving nudity, physical contact, or exposure of private body parts may, in order to protect the privacy, safety, and dignity of its patrons, limit participation in such services to individuals who do not possess genitalia inconsistent with the gender designation of the service provided.
(2) Nothing in this section shall be construed to permit general discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression outside the specific context of intimate services as defined in subsection (1).
(3) “Intimate services” include but are not limited to nude body scrubs, massages, communal bathing, or other services requiring nudity or undressing in shared spaces.
(4) This section shall be construed narrowly to preserve both civil rights and personal dignity in sensitive physical contexts.
🗳️ 2. Ballot Initiative Summary (for 2026 General Election)
Ballot Title (by Secretary of State):
“Initiative Measure No. XXXX concerns privacy in women-only intimate services.”
Ballot Summary:
This measure would allow businesses offering intimate services involving nudity or physical contact to restrict access based on anatomy. Specifically, it permits women-only spas, gyms, or similar establishments to deny access to individuals with male genitalia, even if those individuals identify as female, when such exclusion is necessary to preserve the privacy, safety, or comfort of other patrons. The measure would apply only to intimate settings and would not affect general anti-discrimination protections elsewhere in state law.
Effect if Approved:
Businesses providing women-only intimate services would not be subject to discrimination claims under the Washington Law Against Discrimination for excluding individuals with male genitalia from women-only nude or physically intimate settings.
📢 3. Goal: Protect women's right to privacy, modesty, and safety in vulnerable settings like spas, locker rooms, and bathing facilities.
🔹 Core Message:
-
“This is not about rejecting anyone’s identity it’s about recognizing that intimate spaces involving nudity require special care and boundaries.”
-
“A woman should not be forced to share a nude spa or massage room with someone who has male genitalia just because the law treats them the same on paper.”
-
“Olympus Spa has served women for decades. Let’s protect their right to operate safely and respectfully.”
🔹 Supportive Themes:
-
Privacy: Women deserve spaces where they can be nude or vulnerable without being exposed to male anatomy.
-
Safety: These policies are preventative they help protect patrons from discomfort or abuse, not promote hate.
-
Freedom of Association: Businesses like Olympus Spa should have the right to serve a clientele based on deeply held values and the nature of their services.
-
“This isn’t discrimination it’s distinction, rooted in anatomy and context.”
-
“Would you want your teenage daughter in a communal bath next to an intact adult male? That’s what the court is currently requiring.”
-
“We want to affirm everyone’s dignity but not at the expense of common sense and biological reality in intimate spaces.”
