A Perth person with no fixed gender says new legislation which would ban all but traditional marriages is unlawful and undemocratic.
Prime Minister John Howard says the Government will only recognise marriages between a man and woman.
Alexander MacFarlane has both male and female physiology and says the legislation will prevent all intersex people from marrying.
Dr MacFarlane has vowed to take the matter to the High Court.
"According to the Australian democracy, every citizen has equal right for employment, for education and for respect," Dr MacFarlane said.
"John Howard's comments don't reflect that."
Mr Howard said yesterday the Government plans to ban same-sex marriages in Australia and stop gay couples from adopting children from overseas.
However, the Government has introduced legislation allowing same-sex couples to nominate their partner as the beneficiary of superannuation payouts.
Legal sex is assigned at birth regardless of anything else, and if the legal sex is found to be 'incorrect' then it can be reassigned at a later time. That's generally how it works most anywhere that matters.
I was agreeing in part. As I pointed out, the site said that the 30% who are not steril are the "moasic" type which has both normal and abnormal genetic material. Thus the normal cells produce material useful for reproduction but the ABNORMAL cells do not produce useful genetic material for reproduction.
Either way I agree with you this a legal game of the leftists.
