The limitations of that approach have been seen in the case reported by the Australian, where two female to male transgendered people are appealing the refusal by WA's Gender Reassignment Board to recognise them as male. This is because the Board apparently sees them as female, when:
- each has had years of therapy (as is required before any gender reassignment surgery occurs);
- each has had years of testosterone and intend to take that indefinitely;
- each has had a double mastectomy; but
- neither has had a hysterectomy, meaning that in theory, according to the Board, they might be able to bear children and therefore were technically female.
