Human Rights Tribunal hearing devolved into repeated outbursts and name-calling this week as it considered a transgender woman\u2019s complaint that a home-based salon discriminated against her by denying her a Brazilian wax.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201chalf-truths and fabrications.\u201d Tribunal adjudicator Devyn Cousineau frequently had to interject to maintain decorum and to keep the hearing from careening off course.<\/p>\n<p>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?\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026At Wednesday\u2019s hearing, Yaniv, who is representing herself, said she came upon a Facebook ad in spring 2018 offering a promotion for a Brazilian wax, which involves the removal of pubic hair around the groin.<\/p>\n<p>Da Silva testified she had just started her home-based business after previously performing waxes on family and friends. Yaniv was the first person to respond to her ad, she said.<\/p>\n<p>They agreed over text message to an afternoon appointment. But Yaniv testified that after identifying herself as transgender and sending Da Silva a selfie, Da Silva cancelled the session.<\/p>\n<p>Da Silva told the tribunal,\u00a0<strong>\u201cI have no problem with LGBT.\u201d She said she was just not comfortable waxing male genitals.<\/strong>\u00a0The idea also did not sit well with her husband, she said. Further, she didn\u2019t have any experience doing it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>I bet Ms. Da Silva NEVER imagined her Brazilian wax business would put her in front of the Human Rights Tribunal!<\/h3>\n<div class=\"SandboxRoot env-bp-350\" data-twitter-event-id=\"0\">\n<div id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"EmbeddedTweet EmbeddedTweet--cta js-clickToOpenTarget tweet-InformationCircle-widgetParent\" lang=\"en\" data-click-to-open-target=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SatiriaNews\/status\/1079031126478458880\" data-iframe-title=\"Twitter Tweet\" data-scribe=\"page:tweet\" data-twitter-event-id=\"1\">\n<div class=\"EmbeddedTweet-tweetContainer\">\n<div class=\"EmbeddedTweet-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"Tweet h-entry js-tweetIdInfo subject expanded\" cite=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SatiriaNews\/status\/1079031126478458880\" data-tweet-id=\"1079031126478458880\" data-scribe=\"section:subject\">\n<div class=\"Tweet-header\"><a class=\"TweetAuthor-avatar  Identity-avatar u-linkBlend\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SatiriaNews\" data-scribe=\"element:user_link\" aria-label=\"Satiria (screen name: SatiriaNews)\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/1149767756251877376\/C_9Jtxp8_normal.png\" alt=\"\" data-scribe=\"element:avatar\" data-src-2x=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/1149767756251877376\/C_9Jtxp8_bigger.png\" data-src-1x=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/1149767756251877376\/C_9Jtxp8_normal.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"TweetAuthor js-inViewportScribingTarget\" data-scribe=\"component:author\">\n<div class=\"TweetAuthor-nameScreenNameContainer\"><span class=\"TweetAuthor-decoratedName\"><span class=\"TweetAuthor-name Identity-name customisable-highlight\" title=\"Satiria\" data-scribe=\"element:name\">Satiria<\/span><\/span><span class=\"TweetAuthor-screenName Identity-screenName\" dir=\"ltr\" title=\"@SatiriaNews\" data-scribe=\"element:screen_name\">@SatiriaNews<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Tweet-brand\">\n<div class=\"Icon Icon--twitter \" title=\"View on Twitter\" role=\"presentation\" aria-label=\"View on Twitter\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Tweet-body e-entry-content\" data-scribe=\"component:tweet\">\n<div class=\"Tweet-target js-inViewportScribingTarget\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"Tweet-text e-entry-title\" dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u2018Jessica\u2019 Yaniv\u2019s Rules of Feminism!<\/p>\n<p>1.
