The case of a transgender woman claiming that more than a dozen salons refused her service because of her gender identity is shining a spotlight on a myriad of issues, and inspiring heated discussion on Twitter.
A transgender woman has claimed that more than a dozen salons refused her service because of her gender identity, including at least one that would not provide her with a Brazilian wax job after making the assumption that she has male genitalia. But, says Jessica Yaniv, of Vancouver, B.C., in Canada, her human rights complaint goes beyond the simple issue of waxing and physical anatomy.
Here is the interview with @trustednerd the transgender woman who wants female beauticians to wax Male Genitalia.This is everything that’s wrong with society, when the rights of women to refuse to handle a penis and balls is trumped by a liberal ideology. https://t.co/DT2ZsIXsQI— Brad July 23, 2019 I was honestly on the fence about the whole gender self identification thing in Scotland...
— Iam July 23, 2019 Da Silva, the woman who opened the waxing business out of her home, made the odd statement to the tribunal that she defined someone who is transgender as a person who has undergone sex-reassignment surgery. That is only a fraction of transgender folk. I suggest Da Silva listen. Yaniv filed her complaints in an attempt to seek justice in what she sees as anti-transgender discrimination. “I’m not suing anyone,” she clarifies. “I could have, but I decided to make it less legal and less drama, with this less formal process than going to court and standing before a judge.”
The Brazilian waxing request at the heart of the complaint was refused by Marcia DaSilva, the owner of a home-based salon that has since reportedly been forced to close. According to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which is representing many of the salons before the Tribunal, DaSilva, like many of the other estheticians, was not comfortable performing such a service on a person with male genitalia.
"There’s no reason a waxologist needs to know if you identify as male or female,” LunchboxWax founder Debi Lane told the publication. “If there are special considerations regarding sex anatomy, there’s another way to ask that. We need to know this simply because it takes more time. This is about waxing a body part, not a gender.”
