Twitter screenshot of Jonathan Yaniv, a provocateur and alleged predator who identifies as transgender and goes by "Jessica."
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 a follow-up tweet, the biological male who identifies as a woman, adds that "gynaecologists form a part of the multidisciplinary team who engage with transgender and non‐binary patients, either as part of the transition stage performing surgery or managing pre‐ or post‐transition gynaecological problems."
Earlier, Yaniv made headlines after he tried to use the law to force women to give him a Brazilian wax. The female estheticians refused to wax his male parts because, well, of his male anatomy. In the end, the women were told they had every right to refuse Yaniv service according to the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal.
Jay Cameron, a litigation manager at the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, said back then that 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."
You could, of course, more or less say the same thing for gynecologists. They are supposed to treat women's anatomy. That's what they specialize in -- and it's why women visit them. A man may identify as a woman but -- I'll try to explain this very slowly so Yaniv understands it -- that does not magically turn his male body parts into those of a woman. Sorry. It just doesn't.
In any case, other Twitter users are having a great time with Yaniv's tweet, which makes this all worth it:
