Trans activist who sued female beauty spa for refusing to give her bikini wax is now WANTED by police
A trans woman with a penis who gained notoriety after suing beauty spas that refused to bikini wax has had a warrant issued for her arrest.
Police in Alberta, Canada, are searching for Jessica Yaniv, also known as Jessica Simpson, in relation to a criminal harassment charge according to Western Standard.
The outlet spoke with the complainant who said they are trying to confirm if the search extends to British Columbia, where Yaniv is from.
No court records have yet been released in relation to the case and Calgary Police have yet to comment, so further details of the harassment have not been disclosed.
In Canada warrants can be forced across different provinces if they are filed under a national database or authorized under a interprovincial cooperation agreement.
Yaniv first made headlines in 2018 after filing suit against a number of salons after they refused to wax her.
She claimed they had actively discriminated against her for her gender identity and male genitalia. The cases were all later dismissed.
In 2019 she was also hit with accusations that she had engaged in sexually inappropriate communications with a minor.

One woman, Jessica Rumpel, previously told the Daily Mail that Yaniv had sent her her sexually inappropriate messages when she was just 14.
Those are said to have included questions about whether it would be ok for her to change in front of another woman, and how to go about making that happen.
Rumpel went public with her claims after others posted about similar alleged incidents on social media.
Yaniv went on to say that she doesn't know Rumpel and suggested someone posing as her may have contacted her.
Rumpel however shared Twitter messages from 2014 that appear to have come from Yaniv's current verified account.
'I feel [Yaniv] took advantage of me,' Rumpel told the Daily Mai back in 2019. 'I felt [Yaniv] kinda took my kindness for granted.'
She said that at the time Yaniv sent the message she was unphased and only later realized the behavior was predatory.
In 2019 she was also charged with possession of a prohibited weapon after she waving a taser while on a livestream, she received a conditional discharge.
According to her Instagram page, she is a rights activist, social justice warrior and human rights advocate

That same year Yaniv claimed on social media that gynecologists refused to see her, saying it left her 'shocked, confused and hurt'.
'Are they allowed to do that, legally? Isn't that against the college practices,' she tweeted at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia.

The Daily Mail has approached the Calgary Crown Prosecution Office for comment on the warrant.
