Groin waxing human rights complainant and transwoman Jessica Yaniv and her mother got in a heated verbal argument with a citizen journalist at a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal in downtown Vancouver on Friday.

“I was there to support these ladies who have the law being used against them in such a ridiculous way,” Dan Dicks told the Sun. “So I was just going to politely ask (Yaniv) a few questions.”

Dicks said that after he informed Yaniv he was the publisher of conspiracy theorist and right-wing commentary website PressForTruth.ca, Yaniv was “triggered.”

“He called the police, he threatened to pepper spray me, he pulled the alarm in the elevator,” Dicks said of Yaniv.

Yaniv also asked to be escorted by security and have Dicks removed from the tribunal, both requests were denied.

Yaniv said Dicks didn’t identify himself at first and was getting close to her and her mother.
