65% Informative
B.C. Human Rights Tribunal found Kirsten Olsen discriminated against Terry Wiebe on the basis of gender identity and expression.
Olsen was ordered to pay the $ 10,000 award as compensation for injury to the tenant's dignity.
The tribunal found Olsen made a discriminatory response when she said she would be “uncomfortable’ with having surgery.
Olsen denied using the word “mutilate” and said “you don’t need to mutilate your body’s”.
Terry Wiebe asked Olsen if they can stay on the property if they got the surgery, the tribunal found.
Olsen ’s comments were made as part of “frank, unguarded conversations between friends” — “objectionable,” but not discriminatory.
The tribunal awarded them $ 10,000 for injury to dignity.
