Yeah demanding that people wax your sack is not a right

Quote:
The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has ruled against a transgender woman who brought 15 discrimination complaints after she was refused wax services at more than a dozen beauty salons.


Jessica Yaniv, who identifies as female but has male genitalia, contacted the businesses through Facebook messages requesting appointments, including for a Brazilian wax which is a service to remove most or all female pubic hair.


But according to Tuesday's decision, "... human rights legislation does not require a service provider to wax a type of genitals they are not trained for and have not consented to wax."

Quote:
"Self-identification does not erase physiological reality," said Jay Cameron of the the Justice Centre. "No woman should be compelled to touch male genitals against her will, irrespective of how the owner of the genitals identifies."

Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.



Quote:
The ruling also found that Yaniv engaged in improper conduct by misleading the tribunal, by being untruthful, and by engaging in extortionate behaviour and scurrilous attacks.


It was also noted that she brought most of her 15 complaints against women described as "not white," while expressing racial animosity on social media and in her testimony.


Yaniv was ordered to pay $2,000 to each of three respondents.

This is absolutely terrible. Now how are all the transphobic bigots going to justify their belief of not wanting to add gender identity to the Canadian Human Rights Act?

Yaniv was their shining beacon. A crazy person who was going to force people to touch her genitals and there was nothing that could be done because she was protected by the courts! Except she wasn't...

Yeah. “Jessica Yaniv Case” would suffice.
