In Canada right now, a group of female workers, at least one of whom is a migrant, are coming under attack. One has already lost her job. The others fear losing their jobs too. And yet the leftish types who’d normally yell and tweet their backing for such marginalised workers haven’t raised a peep of concern. The Guardian is schtum. The Twitterati hasn’t stirred. The BBC looks the other way.
Why? Because the person confronting these women and putting their livelihoods into jeopardy is transgender. And as we know, criticising trans people is tantamount to blasphemy in the woke era.
This is the case of Jessica Yaniv, born Jonathan Yaniv, who has filed 16 complaints with the human rights tribunal in British Columbia against female beauticians who refused to provide her/ him with an intimate wax. These are waxers who only tend to women. Whose expertise is in the waxing of women’s intimate areas. And whose preference is to wax women, not men. So when a person who has a penis and testicles, as Yaniv does, comes along and says ‘wax me’, they understandably said no.
Well, it would have been understandable in any other time in human history. But in our increasingly weird era of genderfluidity and trans agitation, where you can become a woman simply by declaring yourself a woman, these female workers’ refusal to wax Yaniv isn’t understandable at all, apparently. It’s transphobic. It’s hateful. It’s an assault on human rights, no less. That, at least, is what Yaniv is arguing.
Let’s put this into perspective: women are having action taken against them because they refused to touch a penis and testicles. So warped has the language of rights become, in particular transgender rights, that a born male can take action against women because they refused to wax him.
It is perverse. In a normal world, it would be the fundamental right of all women not to have to go anywhere near a penis, unless of course they wanted to. But in our woke world of casual sex-switching and identitarian entitlement, we have the deranged situation where a born male can claim to be the humiliated victim because a group of women wouldn’t let him come into their home, take off his clothes, and air his genitals for a waxing.
Yes, some of the women who have been targeted by Yaniv work from home. One, Marcia De Silva, has had had to close down her home-based personal business as a result of the stress of the Yaniv case. A legal representative of the women said some have been made ‘depressed, anxious [and] sleepless’ by the human-rights action. These are women who were simply trying to make a living from providing services to other women, and yet now they find themselves whispered about as phobic and hateful.
This strange case raises so many questions. Is there a human right to have your balls waxed? Is it really an assault on human rights if a woman says, ‘I don’t want to wax your genital area’? Surely the discrimination is against the women themselves, who are being dragged into a public human-rights procedure simply for asserting their basic right not to have strange men — biological men! — in their homes
But perhaps the most pressing question raised by this case — a question so few woke warriors and identitarian leftists want to address — is this: just because someone says they are a woman, does that make them a woman?
This lies at the heart of this case. Even some pro-trans people will no doubt argue that Yaniv’s case is frivolous and that most transgender people don’t go around demanding waxes from people who don’t want to wax them.
That is true. But while Yaniv’s human-rights action might be eccentric, it also entirely follows the logic, the central logic, of the transgender ideology. Which is that you can be any sex you want. You can self-ID however you like. Feel like a woman? Then you’re a woman. And anyone who says you aren’t is a bigoted, disgusting spouter of hate.
This is at the core of the trans ideology. And it explains why so few media outlets are commenting on the British Columbia case — because they instinctively know it represents the warped but logical endpoint of that ideology.
Jessica Yaniv is a woman, right? And anyone who says Jessica Yaniv is not a woman is bigot, yes? It therefore follows that female beauticians must wax Jessica Yaniv in the same way they would wax other women, even though Yaniv has a penis rather than a vagina.
We can’t ignore this case. It raises fundamental issues about women’s rights, about how transgenderism threatens women’s rights, about the reality of sex, and about reason itself.
It boils down to this: is Jessica Yaniv a woman? Really? I say no, he isn’t. He’s a man. And therefore he has no right to access services or spaces that are reserved for women.
He’s not transitioning at all. No surgery. No hormone treatments. He doesn’t want to become a woman. He wants to be able to have sex with female children. He’s just gaming the system, that’s all.
And there countless guys out there just like him taking notes.
And in Huston.
That is exactly correct.
He who says “A” says “B”.
Now, every principle has limits. Jerry Jones owns the Dallas Cowboys and their stadium. I do not believe that his right of free association extends to having a whites only stadium (but maybe I’m wrong, I’ll listen to the argument).
But here we are 10 years later. Just think of the crazy kind of stuff that will be posted here 10 years from now.
All because we refuse to say NO to these freaks.
I notice a lot of small and mid sized retail stores are switching to gender neutral single stall bathrooms these days. So instead of one boys and one girls bathroom you have two “gender neutral” bathrooms. I wonder if the ladies are enjoying pee on their toilet seats now? It must do wonders for their shopping experiences.
It’s pretty obvious that it’s women who stand to lose the most from the mainstreaming of trannies and other assorted freaks. It will be interesting to watch how the so-called feminists respond to male freaks encroaching on previously female spaces.
What is weird is how many of these men have dysphoria (warped mental image) but normal heterosexuality.
That’s why there has been a strong feminist outcry against this for years. Because 70-80% of “transgenders” are men identifying as women, up to 3/4 keep the plumbing, so nearly all of the “you can pee by me” and changing room debate is “intact dudes in dresses demanding to use sex segregated spaces”.
Liberals have defined “majority” as “oppressive”. Thus majority opinion on this is considered irrelevant. And whatever group is the smallest wins the argument, in their world view.
End result - transgender trumps lesbian, much less normal women.
Feminists - especially TERFs - are getting banned from social media for offending transgenders by stating facts.
Lesbians - women who are homosexual so hit two oppression checkboxes - are bullied by transgenders and other liberals. How dare you NOT have sex with a man in a dress, he’s a lesbian woman, too. It’s called “the cotton ceiling”.
The other reason he’s identifying as both transgender and lesbian is to beat the lesbians and normal women in the oppression olympics.

I doubt it. Transgenders = gay men, basically. Growing up as a young man in San Francisco area I got a good dose of this nonsense before it went mainstream. Especially in my early adulthood when I was often hit on by gay men in bars, bathrooms, etc. I saw a good number of gay women but the percent of truly freaky gay women is MUCH smaller than freak males for some reason.
I’ve noticed the same. Many public establishments now switching to gender neutral bathrooms - single occupancy. No urinals. Which means the guys need to pee into the toilets that the women need to sit on. And while I know this is distasteful for many, there is “splatter” that the women are going to have to deal with.

Here is a listing of his tweets or instagrams and they are creeeepy.
Without the votes of many millions of women, these problems would not exist.
Women voters aligned themselves with the LGBTQZYZ freak movement in order to punish men. Sow the wind; reap the whirlwind.
After many years in contracting of various types well...it’s women who write and draw pictures in stalls with feces and menstrual blood. That’s just not generally a guy thing.
Women shouldn’t have sexual predators in restrooms, but splatter? Some of them pay that back with compound interest.
Most drag queens are homosexuals who enjoy teasing straight men dressed that way and tearing down real women.
Most cross-dressers are men who get a sexual thrill out of it. Some are hetero, some are homosexual.
Most people “identifying as the opposite sex” are MEN who are claiming to be women.
The gender gap only recently narrowed when sexual activists started telling girls with autism “you might really be a boy”. Instead of working on their social skills, teaching them how not to be exploited by men who’d use that against them and recognizing they sexually mature a few years later .. they’re told “you’re really a boy, that explains the systemic thinking, lack of concern for appearance, your tomboy interests” ... and they get tons of validation and support while mutilating their bodies and denying biology.
I think it started with Bruce Jenner.
How do you know he’s not taking estrogen?
the ladies room has been a mess ever since the invaders from the Southern border arrived. Toilet paper in the corners of the bathroom instead of the toilet. They don’t seem to know what to do with sanitary supplies, either.
and there are always the women who will not sit directly on the toilet- they hover over and pee on the seat anyhow. Good times.
This guy needs to get waxed with hot tar.
I think it boils down to a simple test - Do you have a “Y” chromosome? - If Yes, then you are male - sorry for the inconvenience, next please
I was drawing parallels between political and sexual identification. I suspect most the trans crowd is composed of wreckers who adopt the trappings to exploit the newly enshrined legal advantages granted that crowd. They make indecision a virtue.
“Moderates” do the same thing in the political sphere, they claim that their refusal to commit is a virtue so they can cloak their hatred of conservatives. I have more contempt for them.
