No woman should be compelled to touch male genitals against her will, irrespective of how the owner of the genitals identifies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The trans activist, who calls himself a &#8220;proud lesbian,&#8221; made international headlines this summer for his discrimination complaints launched against 16 beauticians for refusing to wax his male genitals.<\/p>\n<p>Reports the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Jessica Yaniv identifies as a woman but possesses male genitalia. In March 2018 Yaniv approached the aestheticians and requested a \u201cBrazilian\u201d to remove pubic hair from the groin area. When the aestheticians refused to provide the requested service due to a lack of personal comfort, safety concerns, a lack of training, and\/or religious objections, Yaniv filed complaints against them alleging discrimination based on gender identity and gender expression. In total, Yaniv filed 15 complaints against various aestheticians in the Vancouver area seeking as much as $15,000 in damages against each aesthetician.<\/p>\n<p>Yaniv has made numerous public comments against immigrants. At the hearings, Yaniv contended that immigrants use their religion to discriminate against trans people because they refused to wax the male genitals of those who identify as women.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Justice Centre represented Blue Heaven Beauty Lounge and its owner, Sandeep Banipal, who is an adherent to the Sikh religion. Ms. Banipal testified\u00a0that she was not trained to wax male genitals and that it\u00a0\u201cis not something I am comfortable with.&#8221;\u00a0The Justice Centre also represented Sukhi Hehar Gill, who was forced to close her business due to the complaint against her. Ms. Gill, also a practicing adherent of the Sikh faith, provided waxing services only to female clients, attending alone at her clients\u2019 homes. She explained in her response to Yaniv\u2019s complaint against her that it \u201cis contrary to my faith\u201d to provide waxing services to a biological male. Yaniv had requested that Gill attend at Yaniv\u2019s personal residence to provide arm and leg waxing services.\u00a0Finally, the Justice Centre represented Marcia Carnauba, a third aesthetician who was suspicious about Yaniv\u2019s behaviour in advance of the appointment and canceled it as a precaution. Ms. Carnauba also does not have the necessary training, tools or comfort level to perform waxing services on male genitalia. Ms. Carnauba closed her aesthetic business following the complaint against her.<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Centre noted that an expert in genital waxing testified at the hearing, informing the Tribunal that aestheticians who are not trained in male genital waxing should not attempt to wax a penis and scrotum due to the risk of serious injury to the customer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The expert also testified that the necessary prolonged manipulation of a client\u2019s penis and scrotum often results in sexual arousal and a request for sexual services.\u00a0The expert said her salon\u2019s refusal to provide sexual services has resulted in name calling, intimidation and customer requests to masturbate in her salon,&#8221; the\u00a0Justice Centre reported.<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Center noted that most of the women who were the target of Yaniv\u2019s complaints work out of their own home, are of immigrant background, and have small children with them in the house during the day.\u00a0A publication ban had identified Yaniv only as JY for most of the proceedings until the aestheticians successfully brought an application to have it lifted.<\/p>\n<p>The Tribunal <a href=\"https:\/\/nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjccf.us4.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3Dc05a091cdb4f8bb4b60b53c73%26id%3D85d1d318b1%26e%3Df63ec81b62&amp;data=02%7C01%7Cpbaklinski%40lifesitenews.com%7Cdfef41fd1abc4852a1be08d7570d9005%7Cb1de1e02454440878df20244507fd8e6%7C1%7C0%7C637073588095467124&amp;sdata=aZiHuKf4hvSHaFQCx3QZ%2FksLiGS4lJv2Daoiv524vZU%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ordered costs<\/a> against Yaniv in the amount of $2000.00 payable to both Banipal and Carnauba.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonathan &#8216;Jessica&#8217; Yaniv. @trustednerd \/ Twitter LifeSiteNews staff age NewsGenderTue Oct 22, 2019 &#8211; 12:53 pm EST BREAKING: Canada tribunal rules beauticians don\u2019t have to wax genitals of man claiming to be \u2018female\u2019 October 22, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) \u2013\u00a0The British Columbia &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/?p=3480\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1497,1408,1212,1798,1213,2022,2023],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3480"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3480"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3480\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3483,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3480\/revisions\/3483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
