The three aestheticians face complaints for declining to perform waxing services for a trans-identifying individual who possesses male genitalia. The first complaint hearing against Blue Heaven Beauty Lounge and its owner, Sandeep Banipal, proceeds on July 4, 2019. Banipal and her husband are adherents to the Sikh religion. Ms. Banipal is not trained to wax male genitals, and due to religious and personal reasons is not comfortable doing so. Blue Heaven Beauty Lounge does not advertise waxing services for male genitalia. “It is not something I am comfortable or trained to do,” explained Banipal in her response to the complaint. Banipal received notice of a complaint filed against her in March of 2018 by “JY,” whose identity is protected by the Tribunal’s anonymity Order. The complaint states that JY requested an appointment for a “Brazilian” and the request was declined. JY’s complaint cites discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression, in violation of section 8 of the BC Human Rights Code. The Justice Centre will return to the Tribunal on July 5 to defend another aesthetician, Sukhi Hehar Gill, who is also facing a complaint from JY. When Hehar received JY’s request for waxing services on the Complainant’s arms and legs, Hehar was providing her services only by way of house calls, where she attended alone to female clients only. A practicing Sikh, Hehar is opposed to travelling to a client’s house if the client, apart from a given gender identity, is biologically male. “It is contrary to my faith,” explained Hehar in her response to JY’s complaint. In addition, on July 17, 2019, the Justice Centre will represent Marcia Carnauba, another aesthetician who declined JY’s request to perform waxing services because Carnauba does not have the requisite training, tools or comfort level to perform waxing services on male genitalia. In total, JY has filed more than 12 complaints against Vancouver-area aestheticians, over their refusal to provide waxing services on biologically male genitalia. ..."
