Jessica Yaniv, a Canadian transgender activist, lost a court case she brought against estheticians who refused to wax her male genitalia.

"Human rights legislation does not require a service provider to wax a type of genitals they are not trained for and have not consented to wax," the BC Human Rights Tribunal determined according to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms which represented five of the estheticians.

Yaniv was found to have "engaged in improper conduct" including filing "complaints for improper purposes." The Tribunal said that Yaniv's testimony was both "disingenuous" and "self-serving" along with "evasive and argumentative and contradicted herself."

Whoever would have thought that we would ever see the phrase "wax her balls" written anywhere without it being a typo?

The 'news' is more like The Onion than the real Onion.

Any man who attempted this would get hauled away in a police car from the salon.

It would work great as a protest slogan. I can imagine activists, first on the courthouse stairs and then in front of the beauty salon, t-shirts, signs and all, protesting this decision by shouting Wax her balls! Wax her balls!

Ok, excuse my ignorance here but I thought a trans person had their goodies chopped off and reformed into plumbing of the other sex. I don't really pay attention to the details on this so I guess I am totally out of it.
