I would say that within the transgender community, as Sara pointed out, there's a great variety and a great flowering of different approaches to gender, particularly among young people. I find that when talking to people in the transgender community, the concern for the inclusion of the term “gender expression” is sometimes age-related. Younger people feel that “gender variant”, which is a term they like to use, not conforming to either stereotype, is something important to be protected.
But in my discussions with members, I do acknowledge that this is not as clear a legal concept in Canadian jurisprudence, and it's not as clearly understood by the public. That's why I have said that I think we will still make the basic progress we need without including the term gender expression. That's why the amendments to remove it from the two sections will come forward on Thursday.
