The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announces that lawyers funded by the Justice Centre are representing Canadian journalist Barbara Kay in response to multiple human rights complaints filed by Jessica Simpson (formerly known as Jonathan Yaniv) with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal.
Ms. Kay, an award-winning columnist and writer for the National Post, Epoch Times, and Post Millennial, has received two individual complaints and one retaliation complaint arising from her social media posts and public commentary. The complaints allege discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression and sex.
There’s no such thing as genner idenniny. What genner expression is could be anything or nothing. None of this piffle should be the basis of a discrimination complaint. We are allowed to know the difference between women and men.
The first complaint arises from Ms. Kay’s social media posts in March 2025. It alleges that her use of a prior name, male pronouns, and commentary on gender identity constitutes discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression and sex, and that these statements caused reputational harm and psychological distress.
In other words discussing the very public activities of Jonathan Yaniv is wicked because it insults his sacred genner idenniny. Yaniv himself is quite the prolific insulter and abuser of other people.
The second complaint, filed the following day, alleges retaliation. It claims that Ms. Kay’s public response to the initial complaint—including her characterization of it as trivial and her continued use of male pronouns and a prior name—was intended to undermine and discourage the complainant from pursuing legal action.
But it’s the truth. It’s true that he’s male, and it’s true that he has done bad things to other people under his “prior” name.
The third complaint relates to a March 30, 2026 interview and published content featuring Ms. Kay. It alleges that her statements rejecting the complainant’s gender identity and her refusal to use preferred pronouns amount to discrimination, and that these views contributed to stigma, reputational harm, and emotional distress.
The complaints form part of a broader pattern of litigation. Jessica Simpson has previously been described by courts as a “prolific litigant” and has been involved in numerous unsuccessful human rights and civil proceedings.
Ms. Kay defended her position, stating, “I would never give credence to something as a reality when it is not a reality.”
And the legal system shouldn’t try to force us to.
Constitutional lawyer Marty Moore said, “Compelling people to affirm one’s own identity rather than reality is a gross violation of the Charter guarantee for freedom of expression. Solutions for societal debates, including about the appropriate protections for women and girls, require that people be able to speak honestly and accurately.”
He added, “Sacrificing the integrity of the debate to the subjective feelings of others is unconscionable.”
Yes it is.
