VANCOUVER — A B.C. Human Rights Tribunal hearing devolved into repeated outbursts and name-calling this week as it considered a transgender woman’s complaint that a home-based salon discriminated against her by denying her a Brazilian wax.
At one point, the complainant compared the business owner to a neo-Nazi. The lawyer for the business owner accused the complainant of engaging in “half-truths and fabrications.” Tribunal adjudicator Devyn Cousineau frequently had to interject to maintain decorum and to keep the hearing from careening off course.
But a substantive question remained at the core of the raucous daylong hearing: should a business be allowed to deny service on the basis of gender identity?
Jessica Yaniv, the complainant, told the hearing she was entitled to receive the advertised wax service and that if the tribunal ruled against her it could lead to a “dangerous” precedent.
“You cannot choose who your clientele is going to be,” she said.
However, business owner Marcia Da Silva said she was not comfortable carrying out a Brazilian wax on a person with male genitalia, nor did she have the training for it. Jay Cameron, Da Silva’s lawyer and litigation manager with the Alberta-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, told the hearing that a ruling against his client would be tantamount to ordering “intimate services” against someone’s will.
The complaint heard Wednesday is one of more than a dozen filed by Yaniv, who describes herself as a digital marketing expert and LGBTQ activist. All allege she was the subject of discrimination by salons. A few complaints have been settled without hearing or withdrawn.
Yaniv also made headlines recently for engaging in a social media spat with free-speech advocate Lindsay Shepherd, in which they both made disparaging remarks about each other. Twitter subsequently banned Shepherd from the platform, but not Yaniv.

I had a girlfriend once who tried to do it all in one rip. The howling cry sounded like a wounded animal.
Manscaping.
“Yaniv also made headlines recently for engaging in a social media spat with free-speech advocate Lindsay Shepherd, in which they both made disparaging remarks about each other. Twitter subsequently banned Shepherd from the platform, but not Yaniv.”
Of course.
And this is what happens to a society that validates a mental illness as normal.
Wouldn't put have been easier to say "she was not comfortable doing that to a MAN?" She's playing right into their hands by adopting their language.
Too bad she didn't perform the wax and rip his nuts right off.
A transvestite walks into a bar. What’ll ya have, says the bartender. I’ll have a Fuzzy Purple Squirrel, cis says. You want dye with that, says the bartender.
Shouldn't that be a digital manipulation marketing expert...?
“intimate services against someone’s will”
Sounds like a trip through an airport.
No woman should be forced to interact with male genitalia against their will. That’s rape (right, feminists?).

Every good leftist feminist knows her place on the liberal totem pole.
At the bottom.
At the top is islam.
Just below islam is transgender (= fake gender).
Well below all of that is women’s rights.
Women’s rights really only applies to situations involving attacks on Christianity and American sovereignty. Outside of those limited areas, there are no “women’s rights” at all.
And they know it.
And they fully support the liberal totem pole hierarchy.
“Wouldn’t put have been easier to say “she was not comfortable doing that to a MAN?” She’s playing right into their hands by adopting their language. “
I’m pretty sure in Canada calling a man a man when he identifies as a she is going to get you in big trouble.
I am kind of a moderate on the issue. If a guy goes to the trouble of removing what nature gave him I’m willing to let him pretend he’s a she as long as they don’t try to compete against women in sports, but when they keep want to keep their Johnson and the twins that’s a bridge too far.
Also no one should be forced to share in their delusion whether they are altered or not.
They need to update their sign.
No shoes.
No shirt.
No vagina.
No service.
The article is even more dishonest than the complainant when it fails to disclose the following. From the complainants Twitter (Link)
Jessica Yaniv @trustednerd Jun 16Identifying as a "lesbian" means the Brazilian wax customer with male genitalia claiming to identify as a woman - is still sexually attracted to women.
One proud lesbian. I'll never give up fighting for human rights equality.

This means a faux-female pervert is trying to use the court to force a real-female owner to have a unwanted sexual encounter with HIM.
Isn't this CRIMINAL? How twisted that a court is even considering forcing the female owner to be sexually assaulted or raped.
It’s the only sex they get. The new and not improved Chastity Bono was whining SHE hasn’t been in a relationship since she had the addition surgery.
I enjoy watching black head and ingrown hair removal videos. My newest favorite is a woman near STL who is funny as hell.
About 2 months ago I was watching some of her videos and as usual I look at the right side to see if there is anything else that looks interesting. Well the thumbnail caused me to take a second look just to make sure it was what I saw. I’m like no way am I watching that but of course I finally did.
Anyways it is a woman that posts videos on waxing. This one was two guys, the first had it done before and my gaydar was pegged. The second guy it was the first time, gaydar only slightly less. The comments were worth clicking on the link.
I actually liked the woman and she was very professional.
She clearly was comfortable with the situation. I’m sure this man (used loosely) could find someone that does this type of waxing as part of their listed services.
But getting waxed was not their goal at all but to find someone else to sue when told no.
I would tell him to sue who ever did his dye job but it most likely was a DIY job.
***not their goal*** should be his goal.
I forgot to fix.
Well I guess it could be their goal if he uses the same lawyer every time he sues.
Yes!
