"Canadian bill would protect transgender people
Canadian Member of Parliament Bill Siksay has introduced a bill to ban inciting hatred or advocating genocide against transgender people, the Vancouver gay newspaper Xtra! West reported.
Gays have had such protections since 2004.
The bill would add "gender identity" to the list of distinguishable group traits in the Criminal Code."
