Transsexual fights for her lesbian rights

SMH.com.au – Sarah Price

A Transgender psychotherapist has taken a gay association to an equal opportunities tribunal, alleging she was discriminated against by being refused entry to a lesbian event.

Tracie O’Keefe, of Sydney, said she requested an invitation to a South Australian event organised by lesbian support group Sappho’s Party.

The group has a policy of excluding transgender people from its workshops, camps and social events because it only supports lesbians who were born female.
