"Get away from me," Yaniv yelled while hitting Bexte, who was also filming the altercation. The transgender activist...

December 9, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – LifeSite has been locked out of Twitter for “violating” its “rules” after tweeting an article about Jonathan “Jessica” Yaniv, a transgender activist who recently complained that gynecologists wouldn’t see him as a patient.

Anti-abortion news outfit LifeSite said it's been locked out of Twitter for tweeting a link to an article about a transgender activist who still has male genitalia complaining about being turned away by a gynecologist.

Trans woman Jessica YanivÂ’s vendetta against biology rolls on this week as the indignant biological male turns her sights from suing migrant spa workers who refused to wax her male genitals to calling out the legality of Canadian gynecologists' refusal to examine her penis. DonÂ’t they know she identifies as a woman? Yaniv, whose real name is Jonathan, is a trans woman from British Columbia, Canada who has made waves with a particularly obnoxious brand of LGBTQ activism. On December 2, Yaniv took to social media to complain about her local gynecologist, who refused to examine her private parts. Yaniv...

On Monday, the transgender activist who goes by the name of Jessica Yaniv angrily informed his Twitter followers that a gynecologists refused to treat him or any other "transgender patients." This shocked Jessica. "Are they allowed to do that, legally?" he wondered out loud. "So a gynaecologist office that I got referred to literally told me today that 'we don't serve transgender patients,'" Yaniv writes on Twitter. "And me, being me, I'm shocked.. and confused... and hurt. Are they allowed to do that, legally? Isn't that against the college practices?"

In an unexpected move, free speech activist and Post Millennial columnist Lindsay Shepherd has been reinstated by Twitter. Twitter first suspended Shepherd after she got into an argument with a notorious trans woman named Jessica Yaniv who has targeted the businesses of immigrant women who refused to wax her male genitals by lodging frivolous human rights complaints and allegedly sexually harassing multiple young girls. As a result of calling Yaniv a “ugly fat man,” Twitter decided to permanently ban Shepherd. This deplatforming led to a series of events that eventually resulted in the world paying attention to the malicious activism...

Male-to-female transgender LGBT activist Jessica Yaniv, who has filed a total of 16 complaints with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal against female estheticians who do not wish to wax his male genitalia, has now been accused of sexually exploiting 20-year-old Jessica Rumpel when she was a teenager. Yaniv allegedly began sending Rumpel inappropriate messages when the girl was just 14 years old (Yaniv would have been 27); in one message, for example, Yaniv whines that Rumpel is not yet 16 and that they therefore cannot "do anything with uuuu [sic]." In other disturbing messages, Yaniv asks to see the...

The walls appear to be closing in on Jessica Yaniv. After initially making a name for him/herself for filing human rights complaints against female aestheticians who refused to wax his/her genitals, Yaniv has become more famous — or, rather, infamous — as of late for allegedly sexually preying on women and especially young girls. And now, at least one of his alleged victims has come forward with further disturbing charges against Yaniv: ... According to the Post Millennial, the alleged victim, 20-year-old Jessica Rumpel, was 14 when Yaniv’s inappropriate conduct allegedly began. ... She spoke out because she wants to...

British actor-comedian Ricky Gervais has been branded “transphobic” by LGBT activists after he defended the right of women not to wax the testicles of a transgender person who identifies as a woman. The debate started after Gervais weighed in on a recent controversy in Canada, where an immigrant woman who ran a Brazilian waxing business was forced to shut down after being sued for refusing to wax a transgender woman’s genitalia. Another fifteen other female business owners have also been taken to court by the same trans individual, who argues that their refusal amounts to gender discrimination.

Full title: Trans Activist Organizes Topless Swimming Session For Girls as Young as 12, Parents Not Allowed to be Present "Yaniv has now organized a “youth all bodies swim” event at the Al Anderson Memorial Pool in Langley, British Columbia. The promotional material for the event states, “Parents and/or caregivers are not permitted in the event”. "This has caused widespread concern because Yaniv previously made comments described by some as “perverted” about naked girls getting changed in locker rooms." “If there’s like 30 girls in the change rooms, how many of them would you say are out there changing freely...

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....

VANCOUVER — A B.C. Human Rights Tribunal hearing devolved into repeated outbursts and name-calling this week as it considered a transgender woman’s complaint that a home-based salon discriminated against her by denying her a Brazilian wax. At one point, the complainant compared the business owner to a neo-Nazi. The lawyer for the business owner accused the complainant of engaging in “half-truths and fabrications.” Tribunal adjudicator Devyn Cousineau frequently had to interject to maintain decorum and to keep the hearing from careening off course. But a substantive question remained at the core of the raucous daylong hearing: should a business be...

However, Yaniv’s identity has long been suspected by the public, according to John Carpay, President of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which is representing five women Yaniv has filed complaints against. Carpay says the women Yaniv has filed complaints against are...
