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) 🔗 [Link: 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...
