After a meeting between Samantha Evans & Vanessa Leslie from the NSW HREOC, Tracie OKeefe, Norrie May-Welby and Elizabeth Riley on 14.6.06 SAGE was asked to put in a further and second submission to the commission to help it understand the concerns of SAGE members. This document can be best understood by being read in conjunction with: SAGE's submission to HREOC April 2006  HYPERLINK "http://www.sageaustralia.org/HREOC.htm" \o "http://www.sageaustralia.org/HREOC.htm" http://www.sageaustralia.org/HREOC.htm Sex & Gender Identity Guidance Document for Australian Government Employees  HYPERLINK "http://www.sageaustralia.org/docs/Sex%20and%20Gender%20%20Iden" \o "http://www.sageaustralia.org/docs/Sex%20and%20Gender%20%20Iden" http://www.sageaustralia.org/docs/Sex%20and%20Gender%20%20Iden HREOC is presently in a consultative stage gathering information to help it review the inequality of laws in Australia concerning people in intimate relationships. HREOC was initially exploring discrimination against same-sex couples in accessing financial and work-related entitlements and benefits. The enquiry was specifically focusing on the inability for gay and lesbian couples to attain the same equal rights, in law, as stereotypically heterosexual couples. Since the meeting with SAGE it seems that HEROC are now aware that the focus of the enquiry might be better focused on the inequality between all persons living in intimate cohabiting primary relationships without prejudice concerning sex, gender or sexuality. THE HREOC team is looking into areas concerning: Workplace leave entitlements Social security benefits Tax concessions Medicare and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme Superannuation entitlements Workers compensation Veterans pensions and entitlements Parliamentary entitlements Judicial pensions Inheritance Around one in every 100 people has some form of intersex physical manifestation that can either be atypical genitalia, secondary sex characteristic variations, or deviation on the genetic code from the average XX or XY chromosomes (OKeefe 1999). There are many different medical conditions that lead to this normal variation in nature. These people and their partners are presently unable to have their relationships recognised, in law, if they identify as intersex, being other than male or female. Currently, individuals who wish to identify as intersex or anything else other than male or female or heterosexual have a huge battle with bureaucracy. Most people with intersex conditions identify as simply a man or woman and are heterosexual. For those people who do not identify as male or female or heterosexual it is important not to deny their rights to honour their truth about their sex, gender or sexuality as they know it. The right of transsexual people to be recognised in their current living gender identity is upheld in Australian law for marriage for those who identify as heterosexual but there has been little regard for the status of individuals who identify as gay. Those people who identify as transgendered, androgynous, or of neuter identity, however, have few rights in law. They fall between the legal gaps that are ultimately designed to exclusively protect heterosexual men and women only. Even when the law protects gay and lesbian people, that can still often exclude sex and gender diverse people. The Gender Centre (Sydney), that deals with a client group who are sex and gender diverse, currently has 4834 clients and that figure is growing every day. It currently receives approximatelyfive new clients per week (Gender Centre client statistics, 2006). Norries situation How does non-recognition of my gender affect me? I am an androgynous person, and always have been. Male and female are not entirely separate options to my mind. Men and women are not separate species to me. I see them as essentially the same as me, as a human being. Because of the discrimination I experienced as a young adult working in the public service with a gender presentation broader than that allowed for males (who were then prescribed only dark colours for shorts, for example), I suffered a reactive depression, and identified myself as female, and underwent the standard transsexual medical procedures. Shortly after the operation, however, which rendered me biologically neuter, I questioned the whole notion of bi-polar gender, that is, that everyone has to be exclusively male or exclusively female with separate gendered behaviours, and re-identified myself as androgynous. I dont live my daily life as a man or as a woman; I live it as me. I may wear non-gender specific clothes, or I may mix and match. My body is flat of chest and groin. However, I still have to have a gender nominated on my passport, and so face harassment if an immigration official identifies that my gender is at variance with the normative gender stated. Bureaucrats are very unsupportive of me stating my gender as I know it to be. There was a recent survey of the GLBTI community (Private Lives), which asked every participant to identify as male, female, transgender male to female, transgender female to male, intersex: male identified, or intersex: female identified. Even intersex people could not identify as other than male or female! I could not honestly proceed past this first question, and felt isolated from a group I previously had some hope of belonging to. When the Bureau of Statistics conducts the 2007 Australian Census, I will permitted to not lie on the form, that is, to give my gender as other than just male or female, but the truth I tell will then be converted to a lie, that is, everyone who gives an alternative answer will be arbitrarily counted as male or female, via a random computer program. My own government has announced it will systematically make me and my kind invisible. In lobbying for equal rights for all people to have their primary domestic partnerships legally recognised, I have to insist that we dont just ask for same-sex to be equal to opposite-sex relationships, for this would likely exclude me and other androgynous or intersex-identified people. I do find it a challenge maintaining my sanity and integrity in a society than does not accept my gender as a legitimate option. Social acceptance of sex and gender diversity waxes and wanes, which makes it more important for our legal institutions to safeguard the rights of each individual to be treated equally, including equal treatment of their domestic relationships. I am human being, and deserve human rights on that basis, and not have them denied because I cannot establish that I am a man or a woman. Likewise, my rights to have my domestic relationship recognised should be upheld, without regard to whether I have a normative gender or an androgynous reality. To do less leaves me and my partner legally vulnerable, and endangers any dependent children our family might have, legally, socially and in the workplace. Tracies Situation. Five years ago I emigrated to Australia. In my country of origin, the UK, I was registered as male at birth and lived until my mid teens as a boy. For the past 35 years, after hormone treatment and surgery, I have lived as female and had a female British passport. I identify as bisexual woman of transsexual and intersexed origin in a lesbian relationship with my female partner of 13 years. When we lived in England we were unable to have equal rights because same-sex unions were not then legal, so we got married as man and wife, with me using my male birth certificate so that we could protect our inheritance rights and pensions etc. When I came to Australia, my partner came into the country on my visa as my legal spouse. Since that time the Australian immigration department changed its mind and refused to recognise our legal British (heterosexual) marriage and forced my partner to apply for permanent residency as my gay, interdependent partner. For 35 years I have paid tax contributions towards my UK state pension which entitles my spouse to a UK state pension when we retire or should I die first. We both remain dual citizens of the UK and Australia. For these reasons we cannot get divorced in the UK or my partner will be left without the UK state pension to which she is entitled. The Australian government, when we retire, will not presently recognise our British marriage but will tax us on the UK state pension derived from the fact that we are married in the UK. Even though the Australian government refuses to recognise our British marriage I may not marry anyone else in Australia because I would be committing bigamy under international law which is an imprisonable offence both in Australia and the UK. In Australia I can only be regarded in law as female and have an Australian passport as female but in the UK I can only be regarded as male even though I have female British passport. In the UK we as a couple have all the rights and privileges of being a married couple even though we live together as a lesbian couple; but in Australia we do not have equal legal, superannuation, inheritance, taxation, workplace, or medical benefit rights equal to ordinary male/female heterosexuals. Elizabeths situation I am a male-to-female transsexual person and, having undergone sex reassignment surgery, am recognised in my day-to-day life in Australian society as a woman. I was born in the UK and have changed the gender on my birth certificate to female under UK law through the Gender Recognition Act. I hold dual Australian/UK citizenship and have an Australian and a European Union passport, both of which record me as female. My Australian citizenship papers also recognise me as female as do a range of other documentations including Medicare and the RTA. My partner of over eight years is female born and we live together in a lesbian union to which we are committed for life. I am entitled to enter into a Civil Union with my partner under UK law, though such union would not be recognised in Australia. The main area of contention to which I am denied equality with my heterosexual counterparts lies in the area of superannuation. I am in receipt of a small pension from an old superannuation scheme run by the Government Superannuation Office (GSO) in Victoria that I commenced contributions to in 1978 and which I ceased contributing to in 1991 when I resigned from the teaching service. I have approximately $60,000 held in that fund. The fund provides for the provision of an ongoing payment of two thirds of the pension value to a surviving spouse or to any dependent children. I approached the fund to enquire what the status was in the case of a same-sex union and was advised that they had made provisions for such payments but that these only applied after a certain date and my period of service preceded that date and my partner was, therefore, not entitled to payments in the event of my death. Because my entitlements in the fund are part of the highly prized old scheme there is financial merit in retaining this as a pension source. However, for the added security of my partner I may have to make a decision to withdraw these funds and place them into another investment vehicle, such as an allocated pension, which would at least allow me to pass on any balance to my partner via my Will. It remains unjust, however, that I should be required to exercise options that would not occur if my relationship was heterosexual in nature. Indeed, due to the problems associated with superannuation discrepancies, my partner and I have actively pursued alternative and less tax-effective financial strategies over the years to acquire adequate assets to provide for ourselves in our future retirement. While superannuation schemes are able to effectively discriminate against non-heterosexual unions, such discrimination not only places a burden on these unions, but also ironically has the potential to place a burden on government resources since individuals who may otherwise have been provided for, may well need to access government benefits. Graces Situation As a lesbian and a post-operative transsexual woman, I have experienced a lot of prejudice, discrimination and exclusion, which has been aided and abetted by the way our legal system treats anyone outside the hetero-normative paradigm. Prior to my sex reassignment surgery, I was not legally recognised as female, even though I had been living as a woman for four years. When I was homeless in Sydney, I was housed by Wesley Mission in their Edward Eager Lodge. In this service, transsexual women who are pre-operative were housed with homeless men, in spite of the obvious risks to their safety and wellbeing. In 2002, I suffered discrimination in employment, when I applied for a position and was rejected based on my transsexual status. This case was settled in mediation and I was awarded a small payout, but I suffered financially due to being refused employment and the process was long, stressful and adversarial. In 2005 I wished to marry my female partner, but was only able to do so because of the technicality that I was still pre-operative and hence considered male for the purposes of the Marriage Act. Both my partner and me would have preferred to enter into a same-sex marriage as we felt that would have better reflected the reality of our relationship as a lesbian couple. But that option was not open to us. Part of the reason for marrying prior to the surgery was to ensure that my partner would be legally recognised as my next of kin, otherwise if something unforseen happened to me, my family may be consulted instead and my wishes not necessarily respected as they would be by my partner. However, once I returned from Thailand as a post-operative transsexual female, the NSW Department of Births, Deaths and Marriages refused to correct my birth certificate to reflect my affirmed gender because I was married. The Passport Office also is refusing to grant full rights to me as a female citizen, refusing me a full 10-year passport (although I have paid for one, and was granted an interim passport to travel for surgery) reflecting my post-operative status. They destroyed my temporary one right in front of me, but say I may only be granted a male passport to use for identification and travel despite the obvious discrepancy between the stated sex and my actual sex and appearance which is obviously female. This clearly would result in scrutiny at every border I passed through and make me vulnerable to abuse by guards and other curious staff, and accusations of fraud, denial of entry to countries and it also renders using such a passport for proof of identification impossible. I am therefore denied the basic rights of correct identification, appropriate documentation and the ability to travel freely. The reason for this situation stated by DFAT is that I have not had my birth certificate amended, but there is allowance in the legislation for those even without a birth certificate to get a passport. Further, I have certificates from my surgeon, my GP and my endocrinologist all attesting to that fact that I am in fact physically female, yet I am still refused correct official documentation reflecting this. At this point there is still no remedy in sight. I might point out that I am not able to simply divorce my partner to try to get my gender legally recognised. To divorce I understand we have to be separated for a year. I also would have to state that there has been an irretrievable breakdown in the marriage when in fact there was not, so to say there had been would be to bear false witness to a crown office. My friends would also have to attest to the fact we had split up, which they would not, as there is not an intention to do so. So the issue is not quite as cut and dried as it may seem. It would be easier to crumble and do what the government offices are trying to force me to do, and seek a divorce, saying whatever was required to gain one, and then reapply to have my documentation amended, but there is no reason why our same-sex marriage should not be granted full legal recognition before the law, and also the full benefits of a heterosexual marriage be extended to my partner and myself. It is grossly unfair to force people in my position to choose between having a marriage or their gender recognised by the law, where anyone else would simply be granted both. This is especially evident when the rights of children and recognition as a family and the attendant rights granted by the marriage act, are concerned. All of this complex situation disadvantages me, my legal partner and whatever family we may have with regard to workplace benefits that are presently available to the average heterosexual couple. Jacks situation I was born female, and 11 years ago I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and began taking testosterone. I now have a beard and am developing male pattern baldness. People are surprised when I tell them I was born female, so obviously I do look male. However, I dont consider myself to be male or female although I present as masculine. I have never changed my birth certificate. It still says female although by law I can change this to male. I havent done so because its important to me to maintain an accurate record of my past. I was born female, and do not wish to recreate history. This has many implications. I have had to produce a birth certificate at one workplace prior to being paid. This meant I had to disclose my past, and personal details to my supervisor. Fortunately this was in a workplace that was accepting of diversity; however, it disturbs me to know that this went on my employment record I dont believe that I should have been placed in this situation. I have never travelled overseas should I wish to do so, my passport would define me as female, according to my birth certificate. Imagine the fuss at customs! In an ideal world I would like to be able to change my passport to reflect me as male, to represent the masculine way I feel and am in the world. Currently this is impossible without first changing my birth certificate. I have a relationship with another person who also presents as male, and was born male. To the outside world, we appear to be a same-sex couple, but our relationship is much more complex than that and harder to define. It is unique and special to us, as all relationships are, and it defies simple definitions. We defy rigid stereotypes of sex, sexuality and gender. Legally, we are a male-female couple and so could get married if we chose. We have even considered doing so, to make a statement about the limitations of binary gender. Marriage is nothing more to me than a Judeo-Christian ritual, and I choose not to do it because they are not my beliefs and I dont wish to disrespect another religions ritual. So de facto legislation needs to be able to accommodate people of all gender identities and all spiritual convictions. Legally recognising same-sex partnerships will not provide this although providing a legal recognition of two people who are in love will. The definition of same-sex couple doesnt apply to us legally, although it does socially. If this consultation with the community is to be valid and truly representative, then it needs to accommodate sexual and gender diverse individuals and our complex relationships with significant others. If legislation is brought in to accommodate same-sex couples, then we will not be covered by it. If legislation talks about same-sex couples only, then my relationship is at risk of being even less recognised than it is currently. If I died tomorrow, would my partner receive my superannuation benefits? We are not married, although we could be, and we would not be able to register as a same-sex couple under any new legislation. However, we have lived together for over 10 years and are committed to each other as partners. I would hate for my partner to have to defend our relationship at such a time, and in such a way. Conclusion The HREOC enquiry can see from the first and second submissions by SAGE that the discrimination situation for people who are sex, gender or sexuality diverse is extremely complex. The ways in which they can be discriminated against with regard to legal, work and social rights and benefits are profuse. This mainly arises through the use of reductionist language in the law that refers to men/women males/females heterosexual/homosexual; whereas many sex and gender diverse people do not fit into these bipolar paradigms. Such bipolarism uses what can be called closed language and when members of society do not fit into those narrow descriptions, then its allows them to be excluded from benefits because they cannot be sexed or named in a bipolar system. Legal discrimination can and does happen against all people, partners and children, where one partner may be intersex, transsexual, transgendered, androgynous or neuter identified. HREOCs present enquiry that seeks to attain equal rights for people in same-sex relationships is too reductionist. Should it succeed in changing the law to include rights for same-sex couples, that will further damage the rights for sex and gender diverse people by further ghettoising them. While SAGE as an organisation supports the concept of gay equality, HREOC in pursuing this popularist cause to the exclusion of sex and gender diverse people rights will miss an opportunity to attain equality for all Australians regardless of sex or gender. SAGE asks HEROC to support legislative recognition of relationships that are not dependent on the partners being of opposite sex or gender or of the same sex or gender. Support the full legal recognition of all chosen ADULTS IN PRIMARY RELATIONSHIPS whether they be opposite, same or other sexed or gendered. Glossary Sex and Gender Diverse a collective descriptive term to describe people who do not present as stereotypically male or female. Intersexed a person who is not wholly physically male or female at birth. Transsexual a person who started life registered as one sex and has undergone medical procedures to live as another sex or gender. Transgender a person who may be one sex but may live as a different gender. This term is also used as an umbrella term to denote sex and gender diverse people. Androgynous who presents as a mixture of both male and female. Neuter Identified a person who identifies as being without sex or gender identity.
