A Korean spa in New Jersey, where nudity is compulsory, has been ordered to allow transgender individuals who have not undergone genital surgeries access to female-only areas after a biological male customer sued the establishment.

King Spa, located in Palisades Park, will now have to implement ‘gender identity-friendly’ policies, including getting rid of sex-segregated facilities so people of any gender can use all amenities in the spa even if their bodies do not align with ‘stereotypical expectations,’ according to a consent order reviewed by Reduxx.

This decision comes after Alexandra ‘Allie’ Goebert, a 35-year-old transgender woman, launched a discrimination lawsuit against the spa in 2022 after visiting the location in August of that year with a female friend.

The spa is known as a wellness facility that requires nudity in some areas, including in male and female bathing areas like tubs, pools, and showers where swimsuits are not permitted.

It is modeled on Jjimjilbang - sex-segregated bath houses in Korea - and offers both monthly and day passes to customers.

But in the Garden State transgender people are allowed to use all spas and the facilities that align with their gender without question.

Goebert, who uses she/her pronouns, was granted entry to the spa after receiving a wristband that gave her access to the men’s locker room despite presenting a driver’s license identifying her as female, according to the lawsuit obtained by the Daily Mail.

The US Army Veteran and law school graduate from New York immediately complained, telling spa staffers she was a ‘transgender woman,’ leading to an employee giving Goebert access to a restricted women’s area.
