Transsexual vows to continue legal battle

The Co Kildare transsexual who lost her battle to be officially recognised as female is vowing to fight on.

55-year-old Lydia Foy, who received a sex change operation ten years ago, had wanted her birth certificate changed to state that she was born a girl.

However, her legal action against the Chief Registrar - who had refused - was rejected by the High Court.
