IN a major test case, two "former women" are taking on the West Australian Government in a bid to officially be recognised as men.
The pair will take their appeal to court in February after the Gender Reassignment Board of WA refused to acknowledge their sex change because they still had female reproductive organs and could potentially bear children.
