Why we can’t ignore the case of Jessica Yaniv (The endgame of "Trans-Women Are Real Women" idiocy)
Spectator ^ | 22 July 2019 | Brendan O'Neill

Posted on 07/22/2019 3:06:23 PM PDT by Drew68

In Canada right now, a group of female workers, at least one of whom is a migrant, are coming under attack. One has already lost her job. The others fear losing their jobs too. And yet the leftish types who’d normally yell and tweet their backing for such marginalised workers haven’t raised a peep of concern. The Guardian is schtum. The Twitterati hasn’t stirred. The BBC looks the other way.

Why? Because the person confronting these women and putting their livelihoods into jeopardy is transgender. And as we know, criticising trans people is tantamount to blasphemy in the woke era.

This is the case of Jessica Yaniv, born Jonathan Yaniv, who has filed 16 complaints with the human rights tribunal in British Columbia against female beauticians who refused to provide her/ him with an intimate wax. These are waxers who only tend to women. Whose expertise is in the waxing of women’s intimate areas. And whose preference is to wax women, not men. So when a person who has a penis and testicles, as Yaniv does, comes along and says ‘wax me’, they understandably said no.

Well, it would have been understandable in any other time in human history. But in our increasingly weird era of genderfluidity and trans agitation, where you can become a woman simply by declaring yourself a woman, these female workers’ refusal to wax Yaniv isn’t understandable at all, apparently. It’s transphobic. It’s hateful. It’s an assault on human rights, no less. That, at least, is what Yaniv is arguing.

Let’s put this into perspective: women are having action taken against them because they refused to touch a penis and testicles. So warped has the language of rights become, in particular transgender rights, that a born male can take action against women because they refused to wax him.

It is perverse. In a normal world, it would be the fundamental right of all women not to have to go anywhere near a penis, unless of course they wanted to. But in our woke world of casual sex-switching and identitarian entitlement, we have the deranged situation where a born male can claim to be the humiliated victim because a group of women wouldn’t let him come into their home, take off his clothes, and air his genitals for a waxing.

Yes, some of the women who have been targeted by Yaniv work from home. One, Marcia De Silva, has had had to close down her home-based personal business as a result of the stress of the Yaniv case. A legal representative of the women said some have been made ‘depressed, anxious [and] sleepless’ by the human-rights action. These are women who were simply trying to make a living from providing services to other women, and yet now they find themselves whispered about as phobic and hateful.

This strange case raises so many questions. Is there a human right to have your balls waxed? Is it really an assault on human rights if a woman says, ‘I don’t want to wax your genital area’? Surely the discrimination is against the women themselves, who are being dragged into a public human-rights procedure simply for asserting their basic right not to have strange men — biological men! — in their homes

But perhaps the most pressing question raised by this case — a question so few woke warriors and identitarian leftists want to address — is this: just because someone says they are a woman, does that make them a woman?

This lies at the heart of this case. Even some pro-trans people will no doubt argue that Yaniv’s case is frivolous and that most transgender people don’t go around demanding waxes from people who don’t want to wax them.

That is true. But while Yaniv’s human-rights action might be eccentric, it also entirely follows the logic, the central logic, of the transgender ideology. Which is that you can be any sex you want. You can self-ID however you like. Feel like a woman? Then you’re a woman. And anyone who says you aren’t is a bigoted, disgusting spouter of hate.

This is at the core of the trans ideology. And it explains why so few media outlets are commenting on the British Columbia case — because they instinctively know it represents the warped but logical endpoint of that ideology.

Jessica Yaniv is a woman, right? And anyone who says Jessica Yaniv is not a woman is bigot, yes? It therefore follows that female beauticians must wax Jessica Yaniv in the same way they would wax other women, even though Yaniv has a penis rather than a vagina.

We can’t ignore this case. It raises fundamental issues about women’s rights, about how transgenderism threatens women’s rights, about the reality of sex, and about reason itself.

It boils down to this: is Jessica Yaniv a woman? Really? I say no, he isn’t. He’s a man. And therefore he has no right to access services or spaces that are reserved for women.

The story blew up on Twitter over the weekend once the gag order on Yaniv's name was lifted but largely the liberal media has avoided discussing it.

For obvious reasons. "Jessica" Yaniv pushes to the limits the farce that is transgenderism. Liberals know it and they don't want to talk about it.

You see, "Jessica" (actually, Jonathan) Yaniv is a heterosexual male crossdresser, sexual deviant and pedohpile who wears the cloak of "proud transgender lesbian" because it makes him untouchable. Indeed, he has successfully seen activists Meghan Murphy and Lindsay Shepherd banned from Twitter for calling him out.

I've been BANNED from Twitter (Lindsay Shepherd YouTube)

Yaniv has a particularly disturbing interest in menstruating preteen girls and fantasizes about placing himself in situations where he can "bond" with such children and teach young girls how to insert tampons. Yes this is true.

Screenshots of text message conversations here:

The truth about Jessica Yaniv is beginning to emerge

He's a sexual predator who uses female restrooms where children are present and takes photos:

And today he's formally requesting to host an "all bodies swim" event where 12-year old girls will be permitted to swim topless. He had successfully scheduled one for the 10th of July but public outrage forced him to cancel.

Parents and caregivers will not be allowed to attend.

"Jessica" Yaniv exemplifies every "slippery slope" argument that conservatives made would happen with the rise of transgender rights and "TWAW" (Trans-Women Are Women) acceptance.

It's here. A reprobate crossdressing pedophile is on the verge of compelling by force of anti discrimination and "human rights" laws the right to legally sexually assault women.

Not long ago this vile man would've been placed on sex offender registries and prohibited from being around children. But thanks to liberals, all he has to do is wear a tiara, call himself a "proud transgender lesbian" and he's given a pass.

This follows from the ban on discrimination by private parties.

It is perverse. In a normal world, it would be the fundamental right of all women not to have to go anywhere near a penis, unless of course they wanted to. But in our woke world of casual sex-switching and identitarian entitlement, we have the deranged situation where a born male can claim to be the humiliated victim because a group of women wouldn’t let him come into their home, take off his clothes, and air his genitals for a waxing.

One of the most fundamental of natural rights is the right of association. That is the right to associate with people you chose, as a private actor.

I have no problem with government being color blind. It is essential to liberty that all be treated the same under the law.

But private parties must be allowed to associate with whom they well, or we end up at this state.

“The endgame of “Trans-Women Are Real Women” idiocy”

Can’t happen fast enough, but I think you’re being optimistic.

This isn't possible.

Freepers insisted that voters on this very site who refused to vote for Mitt Romney because he instituted a curriculum promoting all this to elementary students (using the same education Czar Obama later hired) when he was Governor of Massachusetts (as detailed in many threads with articles and videos from Massresistance) really wanted Obama.

If all this is real and if it is a bad thing...then that makes every single poster who insisted that voters who voted for Virgil Goode instead of Romney specifically over this really wanted Obama...activists for this cause.

Say this isn't happening.
Because it is, there are some people who need to answer for promoting some really nasty shit.

I know I haven’t been keeping up because I have no idea what the “2S” stands for in “LGBTQ2S+”

Does it stand for “too stupid”

Oh, I think it's going to get worse before a get better.

In a strange way, I can't help but applaud Yaniv as he has laid all tranny cards out on the table for all to see. "Here's what transgender rights look like! I'm a pedo and a sexual deviant but when I play by your rules, I get to win!"

And he is. I implore people to read the screenshots posted in the second link. This guy is a predator in every definition of the word but because he's identified as transgender, nobody can do a damn thing.

When was the meeting where it was decided that "transgender rights" supersede the rights of women held?

These sexually delusional bastards need to be stopped, political correctness be damned.

It sure happened quickly and without notice, didn't it?

One day they were crossdressers and deviants and the next day, they were off-limits and people were losing their jobs if they "misgendered" one.

I never liked the term ‘transgender.’ I imagine if I were one,(empathic person that I am) I think I’d consider it alien sounding and off-putting. If I was transgender, I wouldn’t like that.

I think we should call them ‘gender moderates’ instead; it’s more open-ended.

There was a time when his corpse would have been found decaying in the woods. Try to imagine this pervert explaining himself to George Washington. Imagine him prancing in front of General Lee and screaming, “I’m a pretty girl!” Imagine him telling Gen Patton that the Army wouldn’t take “women” like him...

Not long ago this was the guy who slunked around in the back of girls' dance recitals and gymnastic practices until the dads, noticing he had no reason to be there, politely made it clear to him that he needed to get the f**k out.

Now he's been empowered and if you don't like it, you'd better keep it to yourself because the charge of "transphobic" is a career-ender.

How did we get here?

How about gender confused?

The scary thing about this article is the trannie doesn't seem to be a trannie at all. He looks like an old fashioned creeper who wants to expose himself to women and girls and get them to reciprocate. The Province of British Columbia is enabling a sexual predator.

Is there a human right to have your balls waxed?

It's in the Constitution. Freedom from pubic hair is, er, seminal to the understanding of American justice. It's an emanation from a penumbra, that's what. Justice Roberts will back me on that.

That isn't actually a question I would ever have expected to encounter in print outside the Babylon Bee or maybe the old letters section in Penthouse. But after "Bake The Cake" became some sort of benchmark of protected class abuse this stuff was certain to follow. The state has shown that it has no intention of protecting the vulnerable against the deviant. Welcome to the Brave New World.

Probably due to calmly working our productive jobs while these crazy activists activated 24x7, free of the burden of working similar productive jobs.

Is this the MAN who claims he is transitioning to a WOMAN, and claims to be a LESBIAN because IT still likes WOMEN?
