Throughout the submission process, I've heard from people for whom this legislation is very important, and for them, it is another step in feeling accepted and free to be who they are. We also heard and met with many people concerned about what was being proposed, and I'd like to say that I do understand the fear that some have expressed that allowing people to change their birth certificate according to how they self-identify might somehow diminish the status of women in society and it might also represent a step in the direction of replacing the concept of sex in law and public policy with the concept of gender. Those views are genuinely held by a number of people, and their expression of them is a valid contribution to the conversation that we've had in the debate that has gone on, but we, as parliamentarians, do have an obligation to listen to them and to take them seriously and to respect them.
