Yes, trans-gendered rights are human rights, but sanctioning a critic of a middle aged, drug and alcohol induced man in a dress, who is standing in the middle of the road screaming at the sky is a human rights violation of the utmost order.  If you know Davie/Denman Sreets in Vancouver, you'll understand my comment.  Please, let's not confuse the very valid, but rare, trans gendered condition with the predominant issue - mental illness.  The real issue today is simple, can I say that?????
