I ran across this the other day and it put me in mind of Trudy's "peoplekind" comment. Apparently race is now a social construct that has fuck all to do with genetic differences of physical attributes and skin color.
“Race” is a prohibited ground of discrimination in the Ontario Human Rights Code (the “Code”), but like racial discrimination, it is not specifically defined. The Commission has explained “race” as socially constructed differences among people based on characteristics such as accent or manner of speech, name, clothing, diet, beliefs and practices, leisure preferences, places of origin and so forth.
Recognizing that race is a social construct, the Commission describes people as “racialized person” or “racialized group” instead of the more outdated and inaccurate terms “racial minority”. “visible minority”, “person of colour” or “non-White”.
In other words, if I understand the Commission correctly, such inconvenient factors as XX or XY chromosomes need be of no significance in gender identity.
And heck, why stop there? Maybe my internal and individual experience of my animal nature is that of a polar bear. Or perhaps I'm not an animal at all, but a eucalyptus tree.
WTF...are they trying to bring back the bad ol' days of eugenics???
probably, I know trudeau has deep hatred and contempt for canadians and loves terrorists

The Ontario Human Rights Commission's nonsense is not limited to matters of race:
"Gender identity is each person’s internal and individual experience of gender. It is their sense of being a woman, a man, both, neither..."
