Translation for you peeps south of the 49th parallel: it's now the law.
Manitoba now has become the second Canadian province to pass trans human rights protections with the passage of Bill 36. .
In addition to the Manitoba human rights code now being expanded to cover gender identity, the Human Rights Code Amendment Act adds "social disadvantage" to protect individuals who are or are perceived to be undereducated, underemployed, homeless or living in inadequate housing.
It also streamlines procedures for the Manitoba Human Rights commission to handle its business
Congrats again to the Canadian trans community. Your home and native land is rapidly becoming one that respects and protects your human rights in at least two provinces and the Northwest Territories and its something that I home my own country will replicate soon.
