The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has ruled against Canadian transgender activist Jessica Yaniv in a case stemming from a complaint Yaniv filed against multiple female beauticians who refused to wax Yaniv’s male genitalia.
“Self-identification does not erase physiological reality,” said Jay Cameron, a lawyer for the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which represented the beauticians. “Our clients do not offer the service requested. No woman should be compelled to touch male genitals against her will, irrespective of how the owner of the genitals identifies.”
The Tribunal said in its decision that Yaniv had had filed the “complaints for improper purposes,” and had contradicted herself in “disingenuous” testimony. Yaniv, who is sexually attracted to women, brought 15 complaints against a number of beauticians in the Vancouver area, seeking as much as $15,000 in damages from each one.
“Most of the women who were the target of Yaniv’s complaints work out of their own home, are of immigrant background, and have small children with them in the house during the day,” the Justice Centre’s report said. Yaniv also apparently accused immigrants during the trial of discrimination for refusing service on religious grounds, writing earlier this year on Facebook that “we have a lot of immigrants here who gawk, judge and aren’t the cleanest of people, they’re also verbally and physically abusive, that’s one reason I joined a girl’s gym.”
Yaniv is being ordered to pay $2,000 to three of the accused women, one of whom was forced out of business due to the case.

Whoops I mean sarcasm on
What a beauty!! (sarcasm off)
I remember when as a child you used to have to pay to get into a tent at the circus to stare at the likes of Jessica Yaniv. She’d be in the tent right beside the ‘Bearded Woman’. But times have changed and for the better. But so has something else. The boldness, the utter ruthlessness of individuals to force other people to do something they are religiously or morally opposed to do. To ruin other people’s lives if necessary to ‘get their own way’. If people like this gender confused Jessica Yaniv had their way, the person replacing him/her in that tent circus today would be a sane, heterosexual Christian. Whatever else he/she/it/zie/ze/zir is, this human being (hopefully we can agree on that fact) is a vicious scam artist based on the number of attempts to utterly ram this theme down an innocent hard working person’s throat and if necessary ruin their livelihood.
