At a time when South African (female?) sprinter Caster Semenya, who won the 800m in the Berlin Athletics meet yesterday, is presently undergoing invasive procedures in order to determine her(?) gender, two female-to-male transsexuals have ironically won the right to be considered men without any such genital scrutiny.

what IS that?

It was reported yesterday:

The female to male transsexuals won an appeal in the State Administrative Tribunal against the refusal of the WA Gender Reassignment Board to issue them with certificates recognising “the reassignment of their gender”. The board had found against them because they had female reproductive systems, which it said was inconsistent with being male. But the administrative tribunal said while neither had undergone any surgery to alter their ovaries, uterus or vaginas, or had a penis constructed, both were infertile and had “presented as, and appeared to be, males”.
