According to A.B.—the CBC account of the story simply refers to A.B. as a "woman" (not even "transwoman" anymore) and claims that Carruthers told A.B. by phone that he had no staff members who were comfortable providing services to "someone like you"; Carruthers corrected the record by noting that he had not used that phrase but said he had no staff willing to provide "male waxing services."

Predictably, the HRTO adjudicator, Karen Dawson, sided with A.B., claiming that A.B. was "misgendered" by Carruthers—that is, Carruthers referred to A.B. as male rather than as female. "The applicant's evidence about the telephone call was clear and consistent throughout her testimony," Dawson wrote in the May 23 decision. "By contrast ... the individual respondent's evidence changed on key points, when challenged on cross-examination. For these reasons, where their evidence differs, I prefer the evidence of the applicant."

I suspect the term "prefer" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, for a number of obvious reasons. Dawson is not ruling simply on whether or not A.B. was "discriminated" against—she is ruling, fundamentally, in favour of the much-contested premises of the transgender movement. Dawson would charge J.K. Rowling with "damages." For that matter, her ruling pits her against her with the previous generation of feminists.
