I thought you may be interested in some developments in how the government recognises gender identity in Australia. A report by the Australian Human Rights Commission can be found at: http://www.humanrights.gov.au/genderdiversity/index.html and a blog which was set up for the purposes of the report can be viewed here: http://www.hreocblog.com/genderdiversity/viewforum.php?f=2 Hope you find this of interest!

I'm glad to see this kind of thing challenged for what it is. Excellent analysis of the issues at hand, too; thank you. Good. I’m glad to see this kind of thing challenged for what it is.

Mr. Winn-Ritzenberg could have produced the documentation requested (or potentially begun the process again? I'm not sure), but instead made the conscious decision to fight the judge's decision, in attempt to prevent the same problem arising in the future.

I'm wondering if Mr. Winn-Ritzenberg had retained professional assistance? It's sad that you would have to, but .. yeah. It sometimes help to have a lawyer at your shoulder if someone wants to start being an ass. I’m glad I didn’t have this kind of an issue at my name change.
