There's a well-written article in Quilette, which explains how this ended up in the human rights tribunal in Canada, here: https://quillette.com/2019/07/25/a-canadian-human-rights-spectacle-exposes-the-risks-of-unfettered-gender-self-id/

> Sometimes, Yaniv would use the name Jonathan and a clearly male profile pic. Only then, upon being told that Brazilian waxing is for women only, would Yaniv reply to the effect of “I am trans.” The women would then convey that they were unwilling or unqualified to wax male genitalia. At this point, Yaniv would put in a complaint to the human-rights tribunal, alleging discrimination on the basis of gender identity, a protected characteristic under British Columbia’s human-rights code.

also note:

> Her name had been made public, though the tribunal originally ordered anonymity for Yaniv (that order was lifted last week).

It was the anonymity order from this tribunal that Yaniv used in order to have Medium, Twitter and Wordpress shut down, edit and ban people (mainly women) from their platforms.

All of the individuals and blog that were affected by these Big Tech bans on mentioning Jonathan Yaniv by name had in common that they are US-based. The question is why Canada's tribunal system has any reach at all there. I forgot to mention that another long-running Radfem blog which was hosted on Wordpress was also banned.

Not only did @WordPress & @automattic delete one of the longest running feminist sites (GenderTrender) w/out warning. Their employees MANUALLY EDITED our site; something you'd only expect to see in China or the former USSR. Unprecedented, & they had **NO LEGAL REASON TO DO IT.**
