So SA and the ACT are the only states with such a law?
There needs to be a Federal directive to make all states adopt it, but I don't know if they can do that.
Having been born in WA but lived in NSW for most of my life, I think it will be a long wait before conservative WA adopts such a law, that's if they ever do.
So even if NSW passes such a law I still wont be able to change my birth certificate till WA passes such a law.
Maybe if the courts can make a ruling that the changes brought by hormone therapy constitutes surgery for the purposes of the act?
I mean hormone therapy creates secondary female sex organs.
I understand that some FTM are allowed to change the gender recorded on their birth certificates after having surgical breast removal and nothing else, as they satisfy the requirement for surgery as a pre-requisite to changing their gender on their birth certificate to male, even though they still have a vagina and can give birth.
Will if they can get their breasts removed and then are allowed to change their gender on their birth certificate, then why can't we grow breasts and get our gender changed?
It's a double standard.
It's because they don't see FTM as a threat, whereas they see the penis as a threat.
