Two transgender people who lost the right to be considered male will appeal against the decision in the High Court.

Last year, the two, who were born female, won the right to be legally considered male even though they had not undergone surgery to remove their reproductive organs.

The state's Attorney General appealed against the decision, arguing it could mean a person could be legally male but still bear children.
