Attorney General Christian Porter has won a landmark appeal which will strip two female-to-male transsexuals of the right to be legally recognised as men.

A majority Court of Appeal decision handed down this morning over-ruled a State Administrative Tribunal ruling that the two transsexuals, whose identities have been suppressed, could be issued with certificates which reassigned their gender to males.

The SAT decision had overturned a Gender Reassignment Board ruling which refused the change of gender.
