More protection needed in provincial code, group says

Transgendered Ontarians want protection against discrimination spelled out for them more clearly in the provincial human rights code.

Rosalyn Forrester of the Trans Health Lobby Group and Canadian Transsexuals Fight for Rights said members of the transgendered community are not adequately protected under the existing code.

Transgendered people, who include transsexuals, ->-bleeped-<-s and other individuals whose identities don't conform to conventional notions of sex, face numerous difficulties trying to get jobs and housing, she said.
