The Male Wolf in Female Garb

"Waxing can be critical gender-affirming care for transgender women."
"At the same time, it is a very intimate service that is sometimes performed by women who are themselves vulnerable."
"JY's complaints raise a novel issue around the rights and obligations of transgender women and service providers in these circumstances."
"[Yaniv's behaviour in pursuing case after case, even after the Tribunal cautioned against wasteful] unnecessary duplication [has not been] conducive to having the issue resolved on its merits [and] opens a valid question about her motives in filing so many complains."
Tribunal member, British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal

"I hate to put race into it, but it seems there is a lot of negativity and lots of push-back toward LGBTQ from the East Indian culture."
"I do see this discrimination as systemic. It really hits home to me..."
"This has to be fixed, not just for me, but for society in general."
"They've accused me of outrageous stuff. They're obviously not real."

"[The refusal to service Yaniv was not discriminatory] because the fourteen women were not being asked to wax a gender identity, they were being asked to wax male genitalia."
John Carpay, president, Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms

"I think that people with a history of being accused of predatory behaviour shouldn't be the ones asking for access to services in which women are vulnerable."
"The harm that Yaniv does still reverberates. I don't know what well-deserved harassment looks like, but she's certainly paying in spades for her misbehaviour."
Morgane Oger, British Columbia Transactivist

"I guess I'll see you in court", responded Jonathan Yaniv when he repeatedly called a waxing salon franchise, now closed, thanks to his threats and 'activism' on behalf of the transgender community he claims will no longer stand for being discriminated against by refusals to give them service as the women they claim to be. "F---- bastard .. We don't do. Are you mentally sick? This is a salon. Why do you keep calling", was the response at the other end before Yaniv informed the salon he would be suing them.

Invariably, these are immigrant women from South Asia, from Brazil, often operating out of their homes to try to make ends meet, whom this man portraying himself as a not-too-vulnerable woman seeks out to provoke the response that he knows will be forthcoming, then launches a complaint to the B.C. Human Rights Commission. He is notorious, and the victims quickly come to understand that if the Tribunal rules for him and against them they will be given a hefty fine which they cannot afford to pay and which there is no legal mechanism they can employ to free themselves.

The 32-year-old Yaniv, who lately has taken to calling himself Jennifer in preference to Jonathan, claims to be a woman, says he can become pregnant, because he menstruates, but has never undergone surgery toward a complete sex change. He still carries his male genitalia, and crudely refers to it on his Twitter account from time to time. He is busy with his entrapment game, when he isn't focused on email exchanges with teen-age girls, giving them advice on menstruation and how to insert Tampons.

According to Yaniv since age six he realized he was a girl, was treated through his teen years for gender identity disorder, suffered depression, anxiety and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. During which time he enjoyed short relationships with girls from the age of 14. As a 21-year-old computer student at Kwantien Polytechnic University in Surrey, B.C., he launched a National Sex Day on Facebook which became an attention-getting marketing project: "This was all marketing, and it played so well into my hands. I knew sex sells".

He has been seeking out notoriety in his inimitably obnoxious way ever since. In his communications with teen age girls he would talk about his "dick", occasionally musing that he would "jizz" himself." And ask intrusive personal questions of his teen audience, many of whom became quite nervous of his attentions, some of whom launched complaints against him, reporting his activities to the Canadian child-exploitation tip line Cybertip.ca.
