South Africans closer to allowing amended birth sex
The South African government has passed legislation amending the Birth and Death Registration Act to allow transgender people to correct their sex as entered in the official register. The bill will now go to the national council of provinces for approval. The African Christian Democratic Party was the only party to object to the Alteration of Sex Description and Sex Status Bill. The ACDP's Steve Swart says a person's sex for legal purposes is a wholly biological question and "is fixed at birth. ... This is another example of the impact of secular humanism on our legislative process - secular humanism being undergirded by concepts of atheism and evolution." Our guess is, he doesn't get out much. 365Gay.com
