VANCOUVER, Nov 19 (LSN.ca) - Corrections Canada has agreed to send a male murderer to a women's prison after he complained to the Canadian Human Rights Commission that his felt gender was female and thus he should treated as such. Earlier this month LifeSite News reported that the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal had agreed to hear the case of Synthia Kavanagh, formerly Ricky Chaperon, a transvestite man who complained that the Corrections Canada refused him assignment to a women's prison, and discriminated against him by denying him surgery to mutilate his body by way of sex change modifications.
The National Post reports today that Barbara Findlay, Kavanagh's lawyer announced yesterday that Corrections Canada has settled the case agreeing to send Kavanagh to a women's prison "ASAP." Since the terms of the agreement are to remain confidential, Findlay could not say if public money would fund the sex-change operation but did say: "Prior to her [human rights] complaint, she would not have been able to afford the procedure."
Lise Dessaint of the Canadian Human Rights Commission told LifeSite that, while the complaints specific to Kavanagh were settled, the issue of the policy of Corrections Canada in dealing with transsexuals will still be heard by the human rights tribunal, likely in the new year.
