Gender Recognition and Sterilisation

I don't usually post news, cos I'm rubbish, me.  But this one's from Western Australia, my home state.  Basically, two trans men are taking on the West Australian government because the Gender Reassignment Board rejected their cases because..  drumroll..  they could still potentially bear children.

From the Australian:

"The ability to bear children is plainly not a gender characteristic of a male," George Tannin SC said in the State's submission to the appeal.

"The retention of such an ability must necessarily result in the applicant not possessing the gender characteristics of a male."
