Controversies :

Jessica filed 16 complaints with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal against various waxing and aesthetic salon workers for being transphobic. She claimed they had discriminated against her for being a transgender when they refused to wax her intimate areas.
Each of the salons had indicated that they provided their services only to their female clients and Jessica had male genitals. One of her later complaints about similar discriminatory treatment was deferred by the court because she was yet to pay the previous fine of $2000 to each of the three salons she had complained about. The court had fined her for improper conduct and for using human rights law as a weapon for extorting other people.
