Been suffering with a bad back for several months now (okay during the day but I always wake up with back ache at about half 4 / 5am every morning). Thought i'd see if a back massage made a difference so found a place online with good reviews, called the person and she said she doesn't offer treatments to men. Are qualified massage therapists allowed to blankly refuse to treat men?
Tell her you don't identify as a man.

They most certainly are not! A back is a back. She should do her job and not discriminate. Imagine if the shoe were on the other foot. There’d be uproar (and rightly so!)

Yeah seems like a blanket refusal to treat any man is OTT but I can’t seem to find anything online that says if they’re allowed to do it or not.
