Transgender report meets mixed reaction

A Human Rights Commission report which calls for greater recognition of the rights of transgender people has met a mixed reaction.
The report, which follows an 18-month inquiry, recommends the Human Rights Act be altered to include "gender" to the grounds of discrimination.

In that other post regarding the New Zealand Human Rights Commission I included a link to the "Summary of Summissions".
That was a precursor to the final report. Somehow I missed the link to the final report which just came out.
New Zealand Human Rights Commission Transgender Inquiry (Final Report) (http://www.hrc.co.nz/hrc_new/hrc/cms/files/documents/15-Jan-2008_14-56-48_HRC_Transgender_FINAL.pdf)
It's 110 sparsely formatted pages, but worth the read.

Its funny when 90% are favorable or neutral and 10% are against, the report gets described as eliciting mixed reaction and not generally good reactions...
