good to know but it doesnt really matter what the laws are , as long as it we live in a social reality where people can hold prejudices and make judgements.
I understand and agree that the social reality is the biggest barrier to living a "normal" and equal life.
But yes it does matter what the laws are. Trans people and their allies have fought for many many years to achieve those laws. They should be defended, and used. Québec was one of the first jurisdictions in the western world to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation (in 1977). It has made a huge difference. Sometimes laws follow changes in people's consciousness, and sometimes they precede them. Usually it's complex. But changing everyone's prejudices and judgements first? How do you do that? Human rights legislation gives people an ability to actually challenge and win situations of discrimination, where before, you could only count on individual enlightenment. Doesn't work.
