Re Kevin (3)<br />
The Fundamental Task of the Law<br />
“…the fundamental task of the law…, in a legal <strong>and</strong><br />
social context that divides all human beings into male<br />
<strong>and</strong> female, is to assign individuals to one category or<br />
the other, including individuals whose characteristics<br />
are not uniformly those of one or other sex.” (para 315)<br />
“It is clear from the <strong>Australia</strong>n authorities that postoperative<br />
transsexuals will normally be members of<br />
their reassigned sex” (para 329)<br />
