I hope this link works. On the one hand, great that women might get additional protection. However, it is Interesting that it states this would protect both sex and gender so it could have implications. If you recall, Posie Parker was arrested for a hate crime but none could be made out... if women and by extension gender become a characteristic under hate crime legislation perhaps the outcome might have been different.
