Sydney transsexual man Conor Montgomery has won his fight to have his birth certificate changed from female to male after a battle with NSW Births Deaths and Marriages, who had initially refused to issue an amended certificate.
Montgomery, 51, a member of lobby group Sex And Gender Education (SAGE), applied to have the recording of 'female' on his birth certificate changed to 'male' in April last year but his application was refused on the grounds that he had not had any kind of genital surgery.
