Jessica Yaniv – now known as Jessica Simpson – is a Canadian transgender activist who sparked outrage in 2018 when she started filing a string of human rights complaints against beauticians who refused to manicure her man parts.

Simpson wanted a Brazilian, a treatment that removes all or part of the hair from a woman’s pubic region. The same technique involving a penis or scrotum is referred to as a “brozilian” or “manzilian” and estheticians are specifically trained for each.

Simpson, 37, still has her male genitalia but it didn’t stop her from accusing five independent beauty workers for refusing to give her a wax, demanding up to $15,000 in damages from each of them.

“None of these providers had any issue with anything until I mentioned I was transgender,” the Langley, British Columbia resident told the court, the Telegraph reports.

Simpson vs. beauticians
In 2019, the trans woman lost the country’s landmark discrimination case and was ordered pay $2,000 in damages to each of the three respondents who testified at the hearings.

The court also said she showed “animus toward certain racial, religious and cultural groups.”

The workers who testified were home-based estheticians, minorities who worked from their own homes, spoke little English and were forced to shutter their businesses after Simpson’s accusations.

The women performed Brazilian waxing services on their female clients but were not trained or equipped to handle male anatomy.

When a reporter at the Calgary Herald asked if she felt bad the businesses closed because of her, she replied: “No, why should I feel bad? The one who was the victim here was me. The way that I see it, all women should receive the same service.”

Simpson vs. fire department
Over the next several years, the ‘activist,’ called a “prolific litigant” by one BC Supreme Court Justice – lodged complaints against beauty pageants, the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) provincial health, and a local news network.

 

And then in February 2021, the Langley Fire Department delivered a warning to Simpson, who reportedly made more than 30 calls for help in getting out of the bath.

“Since January 21, the Fire Department has received and responded to over 30 such calls for assistance, none of which constituted a medical emergency,” the letter to Simpson explained.

“Further, we understand that during the Fire Department attendance at your home, you have engaged inappropriate and lewd conduct towards Fire Department staff.

“Your conduct has created, among other things an inappropriate and unsafe environment for Fire Department staff. This is not acceptable to the Township and will not be tolerated going forward.”

She responded with a now deleted tweet, where she said, per the Western Standard, that she’ll “be suing the township for libel and other things.”
