The French senate has unanimously voted to prohibit discrimination against transgender people.

During a session of the Senate to adopt of a bill against sexual harassment, discrimination against transgender people was added to the French penal code.

Before the vote Michelle Miller, Socialist Party Senator pleaded: 'Transgender people have alerted us to high frequency of harassment and assaults they experience, particularly during the transition period that can last several years. It seems necessary to me to complete the law on discrimination and to add recognition of transphobia'.
