Jessica Yaniv \u2013 now known as Jessica Simpson \u2013 is a Canadian transgender activist who sparked outrage in 2018 when she started filing a string of human rights complaints against beauticians who refused to manicure her man parts.<\/p>\n
Simpson wanted a Brazilian, a treatment that removes all or part of the hair from a woman\u2019s pubic region. The same technique involving a penis or scrotum is referred to as a \u201cbrozilian\u201d or \u201cmanzilian\u201d and estheticians are specifically trained for each.<\/p>\n
Simpson, 37, still has her male genitalia but it didn\u2019t stop her from accusing five independent beauty workers for refusing to give her a wax, demanding up to $15,000 in damages from each of them.<\/p>\n
\u201cNone of these providers had any issue with anything until I mentioned I was transgender,\u201d the Langley, British Columbia resident told the court, the Telegraph reports.<\/p>\n
Simpson vs. beauticians
\nIn 2019, the trans woman lost the country\u2019s landmark discrimination case and was ordered pay $2,000 in damages to each of the three respondents who testified at the hearings.<\/p>\n
The court also said she showed \u201canimus toward certain racial, religious and cultural groups.\u201d<\/p>\n
The workers who testified were home-based estheticians, minorities who worked from their own homes, spoke little English and were forced to shutter their businesses after Simpson\u2019s accusations.<\/p>\n
The women performed Brazilian waxing services on their female clients but were not trained or equipped to handle male anatomy.<\/p>\n
When a reporter at the Calgary Herald asked if she felt bad the businesses closed because of her, she replied: \u201cNo, why should I feel bad? The one who was the victim here was me. The way that I see it, all women should receive the same service.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simpson vs. fire department
\nOver the next several years, the \u2018activist,\u2019 called a \u201cprolific litigant\u201d by one BC Supreme Court Justice \u2013 lodged complaints against beauty pageants, the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) provincial health, and a local news network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
