VANCOUVER, June 12 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In a precedent-setting ruling, the BC Supreme Court has made it illegal for employers to treat the fact that a person has undergone a sex-change as an impediment for employment. The National Post reports that Mr. Justice William Davies said human rights legislation prohibits discrimination based on sex, and that it cannot be interpreted to exclude someone “merely because that person or group is not readily identifiable as being either male or female.” The case involved a man who had a sex-change operation and then was rejected from a women-only rape counselling program.
The ruling confirms warnings which pro-life observers at the United Nations have been making for years concerning the redefinition of gender. The homosexual movement has lobbied at the UN for a definition of gender that goes beyond male and female to include homosexuals, bisexuals, and those who choose to mutilate their bodies in an attempt to alter their sex.
Commenting critically on the case, Giuseppe Gori, leader of the Family Coalition Party said that “what is precedent setting is that a judge is saying that a mutilated, hormone-jammed man should have the privilege to be treated like a woman (e.g.: to use women’s changing rooms and washrooms, to get married to a man, or, in this case, to work as a woman councilor in a women center.).”
