Should “gender identity” be added to anti-discrimination laws?

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.

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.

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"

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

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

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

Sexuality identity should be allowed, but gender identity should be allowed if medically Proven.

this could easily be abused as well

no, if you are born male you are male, if you are born female you are female there is not more then two genders, animals don't have more then 2 genders because their are not any more then 2

Yes but there should be room for opinion and debate especially when it comes to children

Yes, but don't make the non-adherence a criminal matter

No, gender identity is a complex psychological topic that should be let to oneself to determine at a reasonable conclusion

There are only 2 genders based on biology. Anyone that is discriminated against has a right to be treated humanely and protected as their person, not by their "gender identity".

Yes but only to a certain extent. As long as how the person identifies is whitin the same species and does not use neo pronouns

Depends. Does your gender identity state your neither, both, or the opposite gender? Cool. Does your gender state that your a cat, or a bush, or an apache attack helicopter? No. Get over yourself, you aren't funny, especially since mentally ill people can take those things seriously.

Yes, as long as the person is at least 16 years of age and has the mental capacity to decide for themselves.

Yes, but individuals should not go to jail for making mistakes. They should only if it can be proven it was on purpose

Yes/No. This should be case by case.
- For people who are genuinely non-binary, I am very much in favour of having anti-discrimination laws to provide justice for any type of hate crimes towards them.
- For people who take advantage of gender identities/gaslighting/narcissistic entitlement that thrive off of attention, these people should be consequently tried if they are causing unjust challenges for others based on the reasons I mentioned.

If and if theres like medically diagnosed prof of the person believing or transition yes. If its some random person made cause I said mam or sir on my first meeting and trying to freak out publicly no.

No. If you're making it other peoples problem maybe you aren't suited for the job. It's not like race where it's something obvious.

For the purpose of the government, protectivelaws should be based on sex, not gender. This would still protect the gay community.

It should not be. if you have a PP you are a man, a Hole there and you are a woman, there are no other combinations. and what your birth sex is is what you are.

NO, because if a guy can say he's a women and walk into a women's bathroom and grope women then then i don't think that we should allow it

People are so uneducated on the definitions of the word "gender". I think they should be added to anti discrimination laws WHILE providing education of what gender is.

Obviously assault and discrimination is not ok but verbal harassment shouldn’t send someone straight to prison

No because gender identity is fluid (may change overtime) and is not genetically predetermined/visually apparent

I’m a very, let me know and I’ll go by that. But you don’t state. I’m going to try to identify by appearance.

I don't believe people should be bullied for representing something different. But medically if in hospital or something related form there should be biological birth option.

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

Yes, but only with the valid gender identities like non binary, gender fluid, female and male but people with outlandish pronouns should not be supported.

No, I think it should be talked about and have policies, but not a big enough deal to have a law for it.

Ok, so how the heck am I supposed to know what they classify as? And am not aloud to guess by how they look or dress. I find the idea of thinking your something your not just because you want to is stupid and those people need to go to rehab or a mental hospital.

The often use of gender identity shouldn't be used as often, rather sex should be used. As such, gender identity would not required to be added to anti-discrimination laws.

People with legitimate issues shouldn't be discriminated against, however there is a large subgroup of that culture that's using the litigation as a shield and playing a different power game that I would consider unethical, though I haven't given it enough investigation to determine exactly what's going on there.

Yes, however, there should be a distinction between one being confused about another's gender and, discriminating against someone due to their gender.

No, it is already covered and should be only applicable to transgendered people, not people who decide they don't like gender roles and decide to be non-binary.

If you’re a plant people should laugh at you. Other than that, I support gender identity added to anti-discrimination laws.

I am neutral to these choices and I would like to stay out of the debate on gender, you can identify yourself as whatever you wish and I will not care.

im fine with male, female, trans and non binary but i feel like the other genders are unnessasary

go over basic anti discrimination laws and that no one should be attacked for who they are, however i dont agree with compelled speech

Yes, but restrict the protected identities to male, female, both, and neither.

Trans people should be free from discrimination, recieve government support and have access to medical care and resources. A person doesn't choose to be trans so they should be protected from discrimination.

I’m undecided on how I feel about this topic in a broad stroke and currently consider it less important amongst other more pressing issues.

I thought it already was, but if not, such discrimination should not be allowed.

Since when did society start adding all these labels to people?? This is part of what is causing such mental health issues, people feel they don't fit into any 1 specific group STOP ALREADY!!!

It shouldn’t be forced upon people

Yes, but only the person is proven to be transgender as is identifying and transitioning to the opposite gender.

People should be able to identify as what ever they want. However, scientifically there is only two genders and that is what all legal documents should show, only two.

No, how about we are all “human.” Why does it have to be so technical. I think people want more boxes, more confusion to put us in, a larger divide. We need unify, not separating us further and further from each other. Social media has already done that so successfully. People want to feel special, and that they are different and somehow disadvantaged or unique and have a reason to complain, or point the finger at someone. Less boundaries, less boxes, more leading with love and kindness. Your a person, I’m a person that’s it. We should be equally treated if we are purp…  Read morele, green or blue, male, female, cis, etc. Less boxes, not more. We are to divided, we need to come together, regardless of who we are. This should not be the focus of our politics. How about children need to eat, let’s clean up the environment to pass it to other generations to enjoy, how about collaboration?

No. There are three identities. Male, female, and the unfortunate margin of people born deformed.

We should absolutely help that unfortune margin of peolek to assign the gender of their choosing. However it must fall into one of three categories. Male. Female. Other

Man I don’t know. This is a complex issue and I wish there was more open debate.

This is already covered under Canada's charter of rights and freedoms

Yes As long as it doesn’t infringe upon free speech or other rights

I think we should have a true debate first

yes but limit it to male, female, or n/a anything else is extra and unneeded

Anti-discrimination laws are too strict, and run counter to our right to free speech. No speech should be limited, unless it is actively calling for violence, or harm.

No, all discrimination is wrong, therefore laws should not be made for special interests or minorities.

It's important that people give others the chance to try and understand different gender identities and not be criminalized for adaptation time

Yes but as I stated before, everyone's entitled to opinions in a moral and ethical extent, ie discrimination should be looked down upon.

Yes, but descrimination laws should be universal

No, It is too much of Anti-discrimination.

If the pronouns are not weird

their own choice

I think all people should be treated with respect and not discriminated against but I do think gender identity is linked with mental health

Sex is a biological and unchangeable thing. Gender identify his more of a social thing, a social identity. Gender identity needs to be respected but we can't put it in laws, because it is something that can change. In laws identity needs to be solid, in things like legal documents and passports for example.

i can not respond to this question at this time

сложно ответить на этот вопрос

Gender is gender be who u wanna be

no, only biological “genders” should be recognized.

I don’t understand the context/question

Yes but only if someones isn't claiming there gender identity something completely absurd for example a potato just to draw attention.

they're making gender identity too big of an issue when we should be focussing on over stuff. gender identity is important to an extent but is over ruled in some circumstances.

We should define gender and agree about what were actually talking about before making a decision

Yes and stop sacrificing women's rights to appease your white guilt.

And I have Zero use for one Jordan Petersons viewpoints and rhetoric. I think his podcast fuels social and political discord.

idek what this means

It's not myproblem nor myown fight.

Depends on the impact, sports teams no, firing yes

No, unless gender identity is clearly defined and does not involve compelled speech laws or gender identity diversity requirements. Also the idea of gender identity should never be taught in schools.

There are 2 genders if uou disagree there mental hospitals.

No opinion, 50/50

Yes, but I don't have to agree with it. I will respect the person.

I don't have an opinion about this.

people can change genders, but there should be a limit as to what is classified as a gender and what is not

Yes, but gender identity needs a clear definition, gender identity should never be taught in schools, and no compelled speech legislation should ever be implemented

gender identity should be taken more seriously.

not quite sure

Your a boy or girl there is no other way around that.

Gender identity is anoyying people say there dogs and it’s just dumb your either male or female pick one

Yea yet we should provide funds for more research and care

It does not matter what someones gender identity is as long as they receive fair treatment

I don' know.

I believe there are only two genders, but I respect everyone doing what will make them comfortable

Yes, but there should be a recognized list of genders and gender identities to allow proper representation and the means to be able to enforce laws involving them

i dont want to answer

Yes, the government should do more to protect minorities from discrimination BUT to a certain extent

just respect eachother
