"It has come to my attention that the Hong Kong High Court has struck down Ms W, a post-operative transgender women's right to get married to her boyfriend.  Ms W is a woman who simply wishes to settle down with the man she loves and have her marriage  legalised.  I cannot see any reason for the Hong Kong High Court to deny her this basic human right.   Ms W deserves to live life on an equal footing with her fellow Hong Kong citizens.  I hereby call upon the Hong Kong High Court and government to respect her basic human right.
