It is already covered, and should only be applicable to transgendered persons, not people who decide they don't like gender roles and decide to be non-binary (a choice)

 @8GPGQX8from Ontario  answered…6yrs6Y

No, but we should have laws that prevent any form of discrimination, but since gender identity is subjective it would be impossible to have a law that covers all the possible interpretations of gender.

 @9VLMTC3from Saskatchewan  answered…2yrs2Y

no, there are only two genders anyone who thinks otherwise is mentally ill and should get help you cannot just say you are something you are not like if you are born a man you are a man you can't just change that because that's how you feel yourself you are what you are and deal with it or go get help

 @B46V7MRfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

I would advocate repealing all so-called "anti-discrimination" laws and adopt a robust and radical policy to strengthen people's right to freely associate and discriminate for whatever reasons they choose. We have a deficiency of shame in our society, and our tolerance has run amok, and we can't hope to repair our culture with such laws on the book.

 @8Z3PZTNfrom Saskatchewan  answered…4yrs4Y

It depends upon how it is used. Like if they are brutally murdered for being trans then yes but i feel someone would use this law as "someone misgendered me put them in jail"

 @Mitchfyndefrom Nova Scotia  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, as long as there are clear limitations on what "gender identity" means

 @8MRPD4Vfrom British Columbia  answered…6yrs6Y

Anti-discrimination laws should only be used when there is real ham (fires from jobs, not allowed to rent a house, etc.) instead of protecting feelings

 @8CRV6LZfrom Ontario  answered…6yrs6Y

Its regressive to think that if a boy wears dresses it means he feels like a girl its just a boy who likes dresses
