Supreme Court petition challenges Washington protections in spa case
Olympus Spa has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review its challenge to Washington’s public-accommodation protections after the women-only spa denied entry to a transgender woman. The petition has been docketed, but the Court has not agreed to hear the case and Washington law has not changed.
The case could become important for how gender-identity protections apply to sex-separated public accommodations. For now, it is a legal development to watch—not a ruling or a new restriction.
