#c 16

fave type of character is complex interesting female character written by a misogynist. let me adopt you girl i understand you better than him… let me save you from all his bullshit…

Okay so here's something that I think should be talked about more. What are Canadian gender/gender expression rights. Well currently? We have none. The has been 1 bill in the past (bill C-279) that tried to add gender into the hate speech, hate crime, and human rights. However this bill failed (to my knowledge it did quite miserably). However guess what? There's a new bill, C-16, that will add gender and gender expression (gender expression was not in the previous bill) to hate speech and hate crimes. And although it doesn't add to the human rights, it sure as hell is better than nothing. And it currently seems to be going through (finally) it passed the first House of Commons vote with around a 130 for vs 40 against, now it's about to move onto the senate. As dry as this material sounds this would be excellent news for transgender people, and would sure as hell make me feel 100% better about using the men's washroom. So let all hope this goes through. Cause then Canada will become a safer place. Pass this along to other Canadian tumblr users of you want, cause honestly I only found out cause I google transgender news quite frequently. You see, the prairies don't generally let much news through.
