Predator vs. Pageant: Violent trans activist launches lawsuit against women's beauty competition

The same unhinged trans activist currently suing Rebel News is targeting a family-run beauty pageant in Toronto for refusing to allow individuals with male genitalia to compete.

Jessica Simpson — better known by birth name Jonathan Yaniv — is back at it again, using human rights complaints in an attempt to force women to comply with “her” demands.

This time, the owners of a family-run beauty pageant based in Toronto, Canada Galaxy Pageants, are gearing up to defend themselves at the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal over a complaint Simpson filed nearly five years ago.

According to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), a charity that has contracted Calgary-based lawyer Allison Pejovic to represent the pageant through public donations, Simpson applied to compete in 2019 without disclosing “she” is a biological male who identifies as a trans woman.

Simpson, who specifically identifies as a lesbian trans woman, also refused to inform the pageant whether or not “she” still has intact outward male genitalia.

At the time, pageant organizers didn’t allow trans contestants. But after multiple inquiries, they have now changed the policy to accommodate trans-identifying individuals while still maintaining privacy and protections for the women competing.

The compromise means the pageant now allows trans-identifying individuals who have undergone transition surgery and/or no longer have external male genitalia.

“It is imperative that biological women and girls, and fully transitioned transgender females, have safe, secure, female-only places where they won’t have to worry about seeing male genitals, or about having individuals with male genitals looking at them,” Ms. Pejovic explained in a statement about the case on the JCCF’s site.

“For reasons of safety and security, it is imperative that biological women and girls, and fully transitioned transgender females, have spaces where they can associate free from the presence of individuals with male genitals. This is particularly so in situations where women and girls are exposed or vulnerable,” she concluded.

PETITION: Repeal Section 7!

1,506 signatures
Goal: 15,000 signatures

Freedom of speech is under attack, and we need your help to fight back. Section 7 of the B.C. Human Rights Code allows the government to censor journalists for publishing truthful reports if they might cause someone to feel "hatred or contempt." This outrageous law is being used right now to silence Rebel News, and if we don’t act, it could soon be used nationwide. We must repeal this dangerous censorship provision before it spreads any further. Please sign our petition now and demand that every candidate for Premier in the October 19 BC election pledge to repeal Section 7 and stand up for free speech and press freedom in Canada.

Will you sign?

To no one’s surprise, given our coverage of Simpson’s serial litigation and criminal acts — including assaulting and harassing our reporters — the pageant’s reasonable accommodations for trans-identifying individuals weren’t enough.

Instead, Simpson hit the pageant with a $10,000 complaint to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal. It’s the same pattern of weaponizing human rights laws that we saw with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal, where Simpson targeted immigrant estheticians who refused to be forced into handling Simpson’s male genitals.

Simpson is also currently suing Rebel News in the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal for so-called “hate speech,” which in reality is just us reporting on how much of a menace to society this individual has been — and how the courts continue to give Simpson a trans get-out-of-jail-free card despite that.

While covering a women’s rights event in Calgary advocating for safe, sex-based spaces, I pulled aside John Carpay, president of the JCCF, to get the latest updates on this upcoming case—along with the charity’s history of taking Simpson on in the BC Tribunal when they represented victims against Simpson’s infamous “wax my balls or else” complaints.

Please help Defend Rebel News at the BC Human Rights Tribunal!

We're now facing a costly legal battle against a human rights tribunal determined to silence Rebel News for exposing the truth. This fight will cost at least $30,000 in legal fees, and while my opponent, a convicted criminal abusing the legal system, has the government fully funding his case, we're left to cover all the expenses ourselves. Please help us defend ourselves against this injustice, and fight back, by supporting us with a donation.

    Tell me again why institutions for such people were closed.

    What a disgusting pervert and delusional freak Yaniv is. He deliberately causes trouble and has anger management issues which are right off the scale. He should be in a mental asylum, not on the street and filing human rights complaints.
