So nice to see an actual feminist message getting out into the public sphere. Megan Murphy goes to town in a Canadian Senate hearing.
Today there was a hearing on Canada’s Bill C-16, which amends the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code to add gender identity and gender expression to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination.
Here is Meghan Murphy’s testimony:
As well, here is an article by Murphy explaining what is wrong with the bill.

Yea, I had a reblog before, but C-16 is a pretty important issue, I think the more people that know about it, the better.
