The opposition will vote against changes to allow trans and gender diverse people to nominate the sex on their birth certificate.
The proposed changes would bring Victoria into line with Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and the ACT.
Last night, about 100 people gathered at Melbourne University to protest against an ‘‘intentionally divisive’’ and ‘‘transphobic’’ forum put on by the Victorian Women’s Guild.
While arguing gender is an ‘‘oppressive social construct’’, the Guild maintains sex is a biological reality.
