17. • Sex reassignment surgery 5 years ago
• Sex status on her ID card changed from M to F. But not
on the birth certificate
• M to F transsexuals cannot get married with a M
• Existing laws only allow marriage between couples
( opposite sex at birth)
• No shifted societal consensus in present-day HK
regarding marriage to encompass a post-operative
transsexual.
• The case alone was not enough to bring about a
fundamental change in the law.
• Urge government to launch consultations on similar
gender issues.
