-Gynecologist Refuses to Treat Trans Woman Sparking Backlash Over Refused Care.

Jessica Yaniv, a trans woman from Canada, has filed a complaint after a gynecologist allegedly refused her care due to her transgender status.

 

Yaniv claims the office told her, “we don’t serve transgender patients,” which left her feeling “shocked and hurt.”

She raised the issue publicly, questioning the legality and ethics of the refusal and tagged the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia.

The College later clarified it doesn’t give opinions on specific cases over the phone but directs patients to relevant practice standards.

This isn’t Yaniv’s first discrimination complaint. In 2019, she filed cases against beauty salons that refused to provide Brazilian waxes on her male genitalia. A human rights tribunal dismissed those cases, stating her primary motive was personal financial gain, not genuine discrimination.

The recent gynecologist complaint has reignited debates around transgender rights, access to healthcare, and whether practitioners are obligated to treat all patients regardless of gender identity.
