A postoperative transsexual in the Australian state of Victoria lost a federal court case Aug. 29 in which she sought to have her sex changed from male to female on her birth certificate.
In a 2-1 ruling, the court said the unnamed woman could not switch her official sex because she is married and Australian federal law specifically bans same-sex marriage.
