It is already no problem for you to choose a male tattoo artist, a male hairstylist and a male dogwalker. Whereever you choose a single employee to work closely with you and where you are in a somewhat vulnerable position you can already choose. If for some reason you feel more at ease with male doctors, tattoo artists or hairstylists or massagist, noone is stopping you from only booking with a man.
Whereever you can be in a vulnerable position with an employee it makes sense that you can choose who that person is.
Ok so you also seem to be describing ‘being in a vulnerable position’ as a, or the ‘line’.
Can you define that explicitly, you know, as if it were part of a law?
I will note that tons of people have anxiety/trauma complexes that trigger in public, or in private, with people.of specific sexes, genders, races, expressed religions, etc… so… are all of those things fair game for things that can cause people to feel ‘in a vulnerable position’?
Some people don’t really even have any specific personal trauma, but are just bigotted and some way, and would tell you that… certain people with certain attributes in certain situations make them feel ‘vulnerable’.
I would say basically if the person is working on/with your body or if they have some form of physical power over you which is the case if you are getting in their car (and they could in theory lock you in/drive you somewhere else).
It is e.g. totally fine if a black person would prefer another black person as a hair stylist because they feel they know more about black hair. Same goes for a white person prefering a white hair stylist.
At a certain point you should probably ask yourself if you can still participate in society if your demands get too detailed. I would draw the line where the interaction is very unpersonal and takes place in a public setting. Everybody can have a one-minute exchange with any chashier. But as soon as the employee is going to work on your body or put you in a position where you can’t easily leave it’s fair to choose who works with you.
I know a lot of people who have a gender preference when it comes to doctors. Not just gynecologists, but any. I know people who’d only go to a male or female massage therapist. I know asians who’d only go to an asian hairdresser. These are all choices people make every day, we just don’t notice because we don’t filter it through an app.
As for bigotted people, I don’t think you’ll change their mind by forcing them to interact with you. If I was e.g. a hindu driver I might even feel safer knowing that people who hate my religion can choose not to be in my car. The safety concern goes both ways.
