No public update has been issued since.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time Simpson has sparked controversy. In 2018, she filed human rights complaints against several estheticians who refused to perform a Brazilian wax on her male genitalia. She sought up to $15,000 from each, but the court ruled against her, stating she had shown hostility toward certain racial and cultural groups. The estheticians, mostly minority women working from home, were not trained to work with male anatomy and some had to close their businesses.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/readmore.cx\/?p=2053\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1975 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/readmore.cx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Readmore-1-1-1-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"67\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_2051\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"2051\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/readmore.cx\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jessica Simpson (formerly Jessica Yaniv), a Canadian transgender activist, claims she was discriminated against after a gynecologist allegedly told her, \u201cwe don\u2019t serve transgender patients.\u201d Simpson, who still has male genitalia, said she felt \u201cshocked and hurt,\u201d and filed a complaint with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia in 2019.
