A new Australian law leaves transitioning transgender women and men stuck with their birth sex on their passport, making them vulnerable to suspicion and harassment when they travel overseas, as well as being just plain humiliating. It's a bit of bureaucratic nonsense which serves no purpose other than to add hassles and misery to peoples' lives.

IIUC it's just people who are pre-op. My impression is that a sensible law was passed to allow transitioning people to list their "intended" gender, but then that law was revoked. I'll see if I can get more details.
