Trans activist Jessica Yaniv is a freqent flier at the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. She wanted her male genitalia waxed. The owner said no.
Tumultuous trans troublemaker Jessica Yaniv was caught on camera pummeling a reporter Monday in B.C..
In a widely circulated video, Yaniv, 32, is captured battering Rebel Media reporter Keean Bexte outside a Surrey courthouse.
After appearing on a prohibited weapons charge, Yaniv was asked by Bexte if she would be pleading guilty.
But Yaniv began taking swipes at the reporter, yelling at him “Go! Go!”
J. Yaniv just punched me in the back of the head. Just spoke to police. Luckily there are two security cameras directly overhead at the courthouse. I need an advil. pic.twitter.com/3hfm2CfYhq

Bexte kept trying to get away but Yaniv was in hot pursuit, grabbing his microphone. The reporter groans and tells Yaniv to stop.

She yells at him: “Go away from me!”
Bexte posted the video on Twitter and wrote that Yaniv “punched me in the back of the head.” He added he needed an Advil.
He tweeted: “Just spoke to police. Luckily there are two security cameras directly overhead at the courthouse.”
But the human rights commission frequent flier may skate away.
“Police have been reluctant to charge (her) before, and so I’m speaking to legal counsel to figure out my options to make sure this menace sees justice,” Bexte told The Post Millennial.

Yaniv also insisted that the reporter be banned from the courtroom — and cops capitulated.
Later, Yaniv allegedly confronted Post Millennial’s Amy Eileen Hamm, accusing the reporter of taking photos of her in a women’s washroom.
Cops dutifully searched Hamm’s phone. None of the alleged photos were there.
Yaniv rose to fame when she took a number of immigrant women who owned waxing studios to the B.C. Human Rights Commission because they refused to wax her nether regions.
The panel shot down her complaint.
Unbowed, she launched a new complaint in October against a studio who again refused to wax her nether regions and legs.
