I am not certain if this is the right area to post this but today a Private Member's bill passed Third Reading in the Canadian Houses of Parliament. The bill's title is An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code (gender identity and gender expression). It will provide human rights protection for transgender and transsexual Canadians by adding gender identity and gender expression to the list of areas of discrimination in the Canadian Human Rights Act, and in the hate crime provisions of the Criminal Code of Canada.
The bill still has to go through the Senate but it should come into effect.
