Trans woman who filed a controversial human rights complaint against salons over claims she was refused services, including Brazilian waxes, is accused of engaging in 'inappropriate sexual behaviors' with a 14-year-old girl

  • Jessica Yaniv, from Vancouver, B.C., filed an official complaint with B.C. Human Rights Tribunal in 2018 but was only recently publicly named
  • She alleged that more than a dozen salons in the area refused services like manicures, facials and waxing — Brazilian and otherwise — because she is trans 
  • She insists she was discriminated against and that salons did so in a bigoted way
  • At least one salon owner named in the complaint said she'd be fine waxing a post-op trans woman but didn't feel comfortable waxing male genitals 
  • Since Yaniv was named in the case she has been accused of inappropriate sexual communication with a minor by Jessica Rumpel, who says she was 14 at the time
