naturally occurring action of genetics and hormones on brain morphology, and(e)as a result of discrimination, harassment and social exclusion many Transgender People attempt or succeed at suicide, and this is a tragic loss of citizens, through no fault of their own.(Notice given 19 November 2013—expires Notice Paper No. 198)1645.Ms Voltz to move—1.That this House notes that the electorate of
