"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.
