When Trans Activism Empowers Sexual Harassment | National Review

I’d like to focus a bit on how the edges of trans activism can put extraordinary strains on the law.

Also Simple Justice blog has commented that Yaniv despite being 'a trainwreck on many levels' has essentially done an inadvertent reductio ad absurdem on the policy of allowing gender to be a matter of self identification -

A Woman With Balls

In a weird way, we lucked out with Jessica Yaniv. First, because the story happens in Canada, but second and more importantly, because we’re usually confronted with the easy problems when the…

Forget about Yaniv, personally, who’s just a train wreck on many levels, and consider instead that the argument, that if one establishes as a matter of law that a transgender woman is a woman in fact, then refusal to perform a procedure intended for persons without male genitalia is logically discriminatory. Even if one can rationalize away the problem under the bathroom paradigm, because what’s the big deal, performing a Brazilian wax on testicles is a different matter. More than that, compelling a woman to do so is a different matter. Usually, it takes a while for crazy to happen, but thanks to Yaniv, it’s already on the table.

Jon-boy gets referred to in a Forbes column, of all places.

The nut graf (pun absolutely intended) is behind the spoiler tag:
In light of the recent science on memory, I am deeply concerned by the way that new technology has been utilized in tandem with current social justice tactics which operate to remove certain memories from public discussion and visibility—be it the statues that serve to remind us of our very bleak history of racism or even the recent trend whereby social media focusses upon the rights of males to prey on immigrant women. At the crosshairs of social media’s Wokeus Dei since last year is the case of Jessica Yaniv (born Jonathan Yaniv), who has targeted 16 female, mostly immigrant beauticians who offer bikini waxing services for women out of their homes. Yaniv’s demand: that these women wax his private parts claiming, despite his having male genitals, that he is a “woman.” Social media had largely carried forth Yaniv’s narrative with distressing levels of denial of reality and the recent memory of Yaniv’s harassment against women on Twitter and a case of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Say what you like about Forbes but at least this is well written and attempts to deconstruct conventional wisdom instead of parroting thought terminating cliches like 'Transwomen are women'. And 'Wokeus Dei' is witty too.

Oh, indeed. "Wokeus Dei" made me wish I'd thought of it first.

Did anyone happen to get a chance to read the "Why we must stand with Jessica Yaniv" story posted today by dailykos before it was mysteriously deleted shortly thereafter?

I did a quick search and it appears it wasn't archived anywhere. A reminder to always archive, guys. Hopefully someone screenshotted it or something but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

It was gone by the time I found it but it still pops on a google search. All that I can see is the line:

"Yesterday, the right spent much of their time smearing a young woman who simply wants tge equality her country is supposed to offer her, ..."

Unfortunately, a search for that line doesn't show any othet articles that had managed to quote or discuss it before it got axed.

Oh, no worries. I wasn't calling you out, just reminding everyone that things can and do get deleted.
Yes, I tried the same thing and tried to get the cache but it's not working out either. :(

I read it on the phone at lunch, but didn't bother linking because it seemed like obvious troll was obvious. (It had the "not official DaliyKos content" warning labels all over it, to boot.)

There were five comments, all vehemently disagreeing with the post's author.

The Daily Wire has picked up the Jessica Rumpel backstory. Link here. Archive here.

Not much chance of major U.S. news media noticing today since they were having an all-hands evolution with the Mueller show.

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 girl's used menstrual pad and sends a voice message in an Elmo voice, singing, “Jessica Rumpel’s” breasts bounce "up and down.” Yaniv also suggested to Rumple that he was “horny,” following it up by telling the girl, “Why are u always so beautiful LOL.” He also sent her a video of a sex toy.

Yahoo! news has picked up the Yaniv story and, quite appropriate for this lolcow, stuck it in the Entertainment department. Because if there's one thing we can all agree on about JY, it's that he's immensely entertaining.

Link here. Archive here.

But Yaniv says her transition has been well-thought-out and monitored, and that it’s taken her “months” to go through the process and change her license and vital statistics, and that “the hardest thing of all is hormone replacement therapy,” which she started “a long time ago.”

Yaniv filed her complaints in an attempt to seek justice in what she sees as anti-transgender discrimination. “I’m not suing anyone,” she clarifies. “I could have, but I decided to make it less legal and less drama, with this less formal process than going to court and standing before a judge.”

To try and book her appointments, Yaniv says she mostly used Facebook’s Marketplace app, and that she was upfront about disclosing her transgender status in each case. “That’s when they refused service,” she says. In at least one other interaction, Yaniv explains, she was treated poorly over the phone — such as when she called a different salon to inquire about the price of a Brazilian waxing, and was asked, presumably because of her masculine voice, “Are you mentally sick?” before being hung up on, according to an audio recording that Yaniv shared with Yahoo Lifestyle.
