Trans activist involved in controversial waxing complaints facing weapons charges

The transgender activist who filed a series of controversial human rights complaints against B.C. waxing salons is now facing weapons charges, according to police. Langley RCMP officers were called to 32-year-old Jessica Yaniv's home after she allegedly held up a Taser during a live YouTube debate back in August. Yaniv had been discussing concerns about her personal safety at the time. "I don't need to be scared in my own house that I'm going to get (expletive) attacked," she says in the video.
