Transsexuals in landmark case
AMANDA BANKS, The West Australian March 3, 2010, 6:03 am

Two female-to-male transsexuals should be able to keep female organs that allow them to bear children and still be legally recognised as men, it was argued in a landmark test of WA's gender reassignment laws yesterday.

The Court of Appeal case is expected to set a legal precedent which could define the extent of medical intervention required for females to have their gender reassigned to male.

The appeal was launched by Attorney-General Christian Porter to clarify reassignment legislation which came into effect 10 years ago.
