The Ontario Human Rights Commission has put together a excellent policy guidebook a number of years ago. I wanted to share some passages from it which I feel will help illustrate most of what I discuss on this site on the topic of transgender human rights law. First, it provides some definitions: Discrimination happens when a person experiences negative treatment or impact, intentional or not, because of their gender identity or gender expression.

Did you know that refusing to use a trans persons pronouns is considered to be gender based harassment?

Now you do! Check out my article to learn more about transgender rights in Ontario,Canada and how they apply to online social media.
