Hong Kong transsexual woman in last fight to wed boyfriend


HONG KONG: Hong Kong's highest court on Monday began hearing the final appeal of a transsexual woman who is seeking to wed her boyfriend, in a potentially groundbreaking case for the Chinese city.

The woman, who was born as a man, is known only as "W" under anonymity rules and now in her 30s. She is seeking to overturn earlier rulings that said marriage is only allowed between couples who were of the opposite sex at birth.
