The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal on July 28 dismissed a complaint by a transgender activist against a beauty pageant company for not being included in the competition.

The complaint was brought in 2019 by Jessica Simpson (born Jonathan Yaniv and going by Jessica Yaniv at the time) against Canada Galaxy Pageants (CGP) after the company asked Simpson for proof of full transition from male to female before being allowed to compete in its beauty pageant.
