Proposed by Senator Donald Plett, the amendment would exempt public restrooms and other single-sex facilities from transgender anti-discrimination law.


In response, Carnes, from Victoria in British Columbia, posted pictures of herself in men's restrooms online in an attempt to show legislators "how completely ridiculous it is".

"Luckily, I haven't had any altercations in the men's room thus far. But they look at me like, 'What is she doing here?'" she said. "It's very awkward for them and it puts them in an awkward situation."


Although Plett's amendment passed in the Canadian senate, the long-debated bill will now return to the House of Commons. It is generally believed it will not pass prior to the election in October this year.
