   Jessica Yaniv had brought over a dozen similar complaints   
      
   A human rights tribunal has dismissed a trans woman's claim   
   after she sued a beauty clinic for refusing to wax her scrotum.   
      
   Jessica Yaniv went to a beauty salon in British Columbia,   
   Canada, where she requested a bikini wax.   
      
   But the trans woman was refused by stunned staff when they   
   discovered she had a full set of male genitalia.   
      
   Yaniv claimed the beauty salon workers’ refusal to wax her   
   scrotum was discriminatory.   
      
   But the tribunal found that her complaint was part of a campaign   
   to both enrich herself at the expense of South Asians and punish   
   them for what Yaniv saw as transphobia.   
      
   The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal said Yaniv had had   
   “manufactured the conditions for a human rights complaint” when   
   she had demanded a bikini wax despite still having a full set of   
   male genitalia.   
      
   A number of the salon workers had voiced religious objections to   
   carrying out the work while others said they weren’t   
   appropriately trained.   
      
   Because the salon had never waxed anyone’s scrotum, the tribunal   
   said, it could not be said to be discriminating against Ms Yaniv.   
      
   The verdict from the tribunal read: "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.”   
      
   Yaniv, the ruling said, “targeted small businesses, manufactured   
   the conditions for a human rights complaint, and then leveraged   
   that complaint to pursue a financial settlement from parties who   
   were unsophisticated and unlikely to mount a proper defence".   
      
   The evidence Yaniv herself gave was, according to the tribunal,   
   “disingenuous and self-serving”.   
      
   Welcoming the verdict Jay Cameron, a lawyer for the Justice   
   Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, said: “Self-identification   
   does not erase physiological reality."   
      
   “Our clients do not offer the service requested. No woman should   
   be compelled to touch male genitals against her will,   
   irrespective of how the owner of the genitals identifies.”   
      
   It was revealed that Yaniv had brought over a dozen similar   
   complaints, seeking damages in the region of $15,000 (£11,600)   
   each from several beauty salons.   
      
   Yaniv has ordered to pay $2,000 (£1,200) to three of the women   
   she complained about, one of whom was forced out of business as   
   a result of the case.
