Australian High Court grants civil status to transgenders (ANSA) - Sydney, April 2 - The High Court of Australia on Wednesday granted definitive legal recognition to people who do not identify themselves in government records as either female or male.

The historic ruling establishes that laws regarding civil status must also admit people who are identified as "neither male nor female" and thus allow the recording of the sex of a person as "not specified".
