Greens spokesperson for Sexuality and Gender Identity Hon Alison Xamon MLC has welcomed the passing of legislation which will mean Western Australians changing gender will no longer be forced to divorce, but stresses there is still much to do to remove all legal barriers to true equality for the LGBTIQ+ community.
Ms Xamon said the Gender Reassignment Amendment Bill 2018, which passed the Legislative Council yesterday, brought WA into line with the rest of the country – and the Federal Marriage Act.
