【新 闻】2011-9-25-澳大利亚新护照承认第三种性别
|
本帖最后由 blueskywhy 于 2011-10-16 10:05 编辑
Australian passports will now have three gender options - male, female and x.
目前，澳大利亚护照中有“男”、“女” 和“X”三种性别类型。
The new category is only for use by intersex people - who are not biologically entirely male or female.
这种新类别只适用于性别交叉者，即那些在生理上不能完全被认为是男性或女性的人。
Transgender people whose perception of their own sex is at odds with their biology but not had surgery - will be free to choose either male or female if their choice is supported by a doctor's statement, but will not be allowed to select "X".
有一些跨性别者，他们并不认为其生理上的性别就是自己的性别，而且也没有接受变性手术，那么这些人只要持有医生对其性别选择表示支持的证明，就可以自由在“男性”或“女性”之间选择一种性别，但不可以选择“X”。
Previously, travelers were not able to change sex on their passport unless they had had surgery.
以前，只有做了变性手术的旅客才能改变护照上的性别。
Australian Senator Louise Pratt, whose partner was born female and now lives as a man, said the reform was a major coup for people who have trouble when going abroad because their appearance does not match their gender.
澳大利亚参议员路易斯•普拉特的伴侣本是女儿身，但现在也以男性的身份生活着。普拉特表示，这项改革具有重要意义，有些人会因为长相和性别的差异而在出国时遇到麻烦。
She said: "'X' is really quite important. It's a really important recognition of people's human rights."
她说：“ ‘X’性别确实很重要，这是对人权一种真正的重要认可”。
Kevin Rudd, Australia's foreign minister, said:"This amendment makes life easier and significantly reduces the administrative burden for sex and gender diverse people."
澳大利亚外交部长凯文•路德说：“该修正案使一些人生活得更轻松，同时也减轻了这类多性别人群在管理上的负担。” |
