Under Sec 5.2(1)(c) of the ID screening regs of Aeronautics Act:
“An air carrier shall not transport a passenger if the passenger does not appear to be of the gender indicated on the identification he or she presents.”
This means that anyone who is a post-op or non-op trans* person can be turned away from getting on flights in Canada. This is blatant discrimination towards the trans*community. Sign Below and tell Harper that Canadians won’t stand for this type of oppression.if you guys would all make sure you sign this, that would be great
wow what
Trans* people and anyone who doesn’t conform to stringent gender norms.
What in the actual fuck DDDDDD:
Definitely think something needs to be done about this, because it cuold be inconvenient, but I’m reluctant to jump on it as being discriminatory, it’s a perfectly logical restriction in terms of trying to prevent somebody boarding a plane with a passport that isn’t theirs, what’s really needed is more than two gender options on passport forms.
What a pointless law. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives need to go.
That there has to be a petition to let transgender people on planes is kind of hilarious. Hilarious in a horrible kind...
The fact that this is needed is disgusting. In fact, every time I hear what the Canadian Government are doing, I am...
Are you fucking serious?
Definitely think something needs to be done about this, because it cuold be inconvenient, but I’m reluctant to jump on...
WTF?? *sign* *sign* *sign* *sign* *sign* *sign* *sign* *sign* *sign* *sign*
