Why the NDP's trans rights bill is dead in the water

I had a post today on the national round-up blog on the main page of Xtra.ca today, which was a "brief" on why Bill C-389 faced a doomed fate in the Senate while C-393 stood a chance of passing. It was a bit less brief than intended initially, but it was a fulsome accounting of what happened, and I think it fairly apportioned responsibility for it. This was of course the final story I wrote up yesterday (after a very long day of filing numerous stories and web hits) but I'm happy it went up to tie up my coverage of the bill in this (now past) parliament.
