Transsexuals not ‘men,’ Aussie court rules

PERTH, Australia,  (UPI) — A Western Australia court, in a landmark decision, has ruled that transsexual “men” are, in fact, women.

The ruling came on an appeal of gender legislation by Attorney General Christian Porter.

The legislation, passed by the Western Australia State Parliament in 1999, permitted the state Gender Reassignment Board to issue a certificate when a person “demonstrates a belief in the gender they have been reassigned,” along with other factors, such as receiving counseling.

The appeal prohibits two female-to-male transsexuals from being recognized as men, the West Australian reported Thursday.

The case hinged on the lack of male “genital and reproductive physical characteristics,” the court ruled. In addition the court noted that the two women, who have not been named in court documents, have female reproductive organs.

  1. … And many would argue that judges are not men either, especially ones that have no basis to refer to themselves as such short of the marking upon their birth certificate.

    To those foolish people I ask one thing. Who are YOU to judge when many people merely see you as a silly moron wearing a cheesy wig and a black evening gown at work?

    Case dismissed… due to lack of intelligent judge.
