Things are heating up! Story by Douglas Quan for the National Post : July 18 2019 A BC human rights tribunal hearing developed into repeated outbursts and calling this last 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 a battling free for all. But a substantive question remained at te core of the raucous daylong hearing: Should a business be allowed to deny service on the basis of gender identity.? Jessica Yaniv says " you cannot choose who your clientele is going to be" Ahh but this is where it gets more than interesting..Business owner Marcia Da Silva said " she was not comfortable with carrying a Brazilian wax on a person with genitalia, nor did she have the training for that type of proceedure..Jay Cameron her lawyer and litigation manager with the Alberta based Justice Center told the hearing that a ruling against his would be tantamount to ordering " intimate services" against someone's will. The complaint against Da Silva is one of a dozen by Yaniv who is a LGBTQ activist , she allowed that ( she) was discriminated against by those salons.Yaniv came across a ad offering Brazilian wax which involves removal of hair around the groin area.After many messages Yaniv and Da Silva the afternoon was set when Yaniv stated to Da Sliva ( she ) was transgender but still had genitals..Da Silva said she was not trained nor comfortable in intimate waxing of genitals, and recommended a few business that catered to waxing, ***** Ok so my short opinion is, If I were trained in "Brozilian " waxing services i definately would do it...i have no problem with that ..but it takes special training to do any " brozilian " wax service on genitals not just an ordinary service but specializes with proper training..Yaniv claims that ( she) considers ( herself ) a ( woman ) because she has breasts , ..you have genitals does not make you a female...my two cents. |

I have a trans-girl partner. May as well state that first. If my user name doesnt give you the hint. LOL But I am sorry. For once I really dont agree with a trans-woman side. She is being over dramatic. She is not being discriminated against. The business owner stated that she doesnt have the training and doesnt feel comfortable doing this waxing on male genitalia, and that the trans-woman should have went else where. The business owner even suggested other salons that might be able to do it. Come on, the owner is being causious in not doing something they dont know how to do. Makes sense doesnt it? I dont claim I can cook vegan food because I am a trained professional cook. They offered the names of other salons that maybe able to do this waxing. A good business practice. She isnt making money sending someone to another business, just being honest that it is something she cant do herself. Which should have saved her from a lawsuit. Or at least you would think it would. The only thing I see this owner did wrong was get into constant shouting matches with the trans-woman.

i agree but i think she closed up her business and it was a home based business as well..so being also uncomfortable with having someone in her home would have been ok if she did have the training..she says her husband didnt feel comfortable with that as well and i agree with him..if she had the training yes i think it should have worked out ..I also am in agreement shouting matches accomplish little ..sad though the customer just didnt go to the proper place after the last rejection and just let it drop...hope the hot temps havent got you played out..thanks for the input ..
