挑戰改身份證性別 跨仔法庭勝一仗 Q先生：都係想爭取同其他人一樣嘅權利
Few people may pay particular attention to the gender field on an identity card. But for transgender people, under current government policy, the field can seem like a window that lays them bare. No matter how much they change their appearance to become the person they feel themselves to be, when others see the gender on their identity card, they can feel as though they are completely naked, exposed to people’s scrutiny.
Seeking to change the “F” in this field to “M”, Mr Q embarked on a judicial review that lasted ten years. He suffered two defeats during the process. On 6 February 2023, however, the Court of Final Appeal handed down its judgment, ruling that requiring transgender men to undergo full sex-reassignment surgery before changing the gender on their identity cards violated the Bill of Rights. The five judges unanimously ruled in favour of the transgender applicant, bringing his final victory.
身份證上性別一欄，或沒多少人會特別留意。但對跨性別人士而言，在現行政府政策下，這一欄彷彿變成一面透視鏡，即使在外型上如何改變成為心目中的那個自己，當別人看到身份證上的性別，自己猶如全身赤裸，任由旁人目光掃視全身。
為了爭取把這一欄的「F」改為「M」，Q 先生展開了司法覆核之路，一行就十年。期間曾經歷兩次敗訴，至 2023 年 2 月 6 日，終審法院頒下判詞，指局方要求跨性別男子必須接受完整性別重置手術，才能更改身份證性別，違反《人權法》。5 名法官一致裁定跨性別人士終極勝訴。

理大「突圍」｜32歲男暴動罪成 官指義務急救員是「迷惑人的說法」 還押3.15判刑
The judge rejected the defendant’s testimony, saying that being a volunteer first aider was “a claim that misleads some people”. The judge also said the scene at the time resembled someone running a “tea stall” inside PolyU, providing milk tea and coffee free of charge. The defendant served only the occupiers and people in black, reflecting “a mistaken idea deliberately created by the people behind the scenes to lure people in”. The judge said the defendant had only basic first-aid knowledge and had entered PolyU uninvited to support the rioters inside, emboldening them and causing the violence to escalate. The judge also said that if he believed he had committed no offence, he should have worn a conspicuous red-cross helmet, rather than discarding his equipment on the advice of people in black to avoid being regarded as an “undercover agent”.
法官拒納被告供詞，指義務急救員是「迷惑一些人的說法」，又指案發時現場猶如有人在理大內開設「茶水檔」免費提供奶茶咖啡，被告只為佔據者和黑衣人服務，反映「幕後推手刻意製造的錯誤想法，使人入局。」法官指，被告僅得初步急救知識，不請自來進入理大支援理大內暴動者，令他們互相壯膽，致暴力升級；又指他若相信自己無犯法，應戴上顯眼的紅十字頭盔，而非為免被視作「內鬼」，跟從「黑衣人」建議棄掉裝備。
