Subject: Official Information request - Section 21(1)(a) - Sex and Gender
Identity

Dear Human Rights Commission,

Under the Official Information Act I request any and all information
related to:

1) On what basis has the HRC determined/interpreted that the prohibited
grounds of discrimination under Section 21(1)(a) on the basis of "sex,
which includes pregnancy and childbirth" (as stated in the Act) also
includes gender identity and expression?
2) What (if any) New Zealand case law supports this interpretation?
3) Any consideration, advice, correspondence (of all forms, internal or
external) etc on the inclusion of gender identity and/or expression as a
separate classification of prohibited discrimination under Section 21 of
the Human Rights Act

Yours faithfully,

K Isaac
