From the Guardian:

Transsexual Wins Right To Marry

Transsexual Christine Goodwin has won her battle in the European Court of Human Rights to be recognised as a woman and to marry under British law.

(See link for full article.)

It's taken far too long but I still feel like cheering.

Huzzah!

Mind you, they're still taking five years worth of pension off her. And from the article, she didn't recieve adequate legal protection from sexual harrasment, which sucks.

But still, yay!

My love for the European Court of Human Rights grows with every day. Fantastic.
