Looks about right, there are some others which have something similar, but it does appear to be less than “most”.:smack:
I will say it one last time
“gender” does NOT mean “sex”
If DOS has caved, there is little hope left.
Years ago, the little box was labeled “sex”, any you were supposed to write in a F or a M.
Male twits got clever (“yes”, “when possible”, etc)
The forms were changed to “gender”.
We now have 2 generations who don’t know the difference. Pathetic
What if a US-certified transsexual moves somewhere more backward which still uses chromosome structure?
Born XY => (male)
Snip/medical certification => Female
Chromosome test (XY) => Male
Could this happen? Has a transsexual ever been so challenged?
Again, this happens when a transsexual moves from certain states to certain other states within the US.
Well, in France some years ago a trans woman with changed papers tried to get married with a trans woman who was still legally male. It didn’t work.
Lol!
That’s the oddest “denouncement” I’ve ever seen. It practically admits it has no basis even as it articulates that untenable basis!
haha yeah, it was a quote from the public prosecutor.
More quotes (my translation might be a bit rusty, I’m a bit sick today), to give a bit more background:
“The demand of removing opposition to this marriage must be rejected because this marriage project is not funded on a true matrimonial will but on another goal than the one to act as husband and wife. This marriage project is a militant act framed in the persons’ engagment for the LGBT cause and its aim is to contest and modify the casebook that excludes same-sex marriage.”
“One of the conditions, institutional in nature, of marriage, is still in France the sex difference implicitely required by the civil code.”
(French law doesn’t state explicitely that marriage must be bewteen a man and a woman, it was an argument used by supporters of SSM but got shot down.)
and, on appeal:
“The matrimonial intention alleged” by the couple “does not conform to the one induced by the matrimonial institution of marriage with regard to the state of the law”
Well, in the one case we know of (Barry Winchell), he gets harassed for months by some fellow soldiers, and eventually beaten to death with baseball bats as he slept, and the commanding officer who took no responsibility for allowing this to happen gets promoted to General.
Here’s the necessary information for changing your gender on a Massachusetts ID, Social Security card, US passport and Massachusetts birth certificate: http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:N0LbnJfa49gJ:www.masstpc.org/publications/gendermarker/gender_change_kit.pdf+massachusetts+law+gender+transition&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjoYcTZFusjQTzCO9mV1u7FlwElOUsZ-Kfvm_jGglJwNuswT5v686LBpW00MrwN1yhxeQmtHBUjFRkaJ1YZ_tuVdP4pxkRGwjF4t-2lneWTGcR_Pq9u9CPMyroDXG8odk3Uxy2K&sig=AHIEtbSycr8pG1PdroSu-txcrdYpMF2vPA
Social Security cards and amended birth certificates (in Massachusetts, at least) require your transition, including SRS, to be “complete” according to your physician. Massachusetts IDs and passports do not require SRS.
As far as I understand, all 50 states mark a baby’s sex on the birth certificate. In most people’s cases, this designation lasts them all their lives, so that all their subsequent legal documents will all have the same sex marked.
For people who are transgendered-- basically, if you feel that the doctor who wrote your birth cert made the wrong call?–each state has their own rules on changing sex on legal documents, and you’re stuck with the rules of the state you were born in. No matter how liberal a place you move to, if your birthplace doesn’t allow it, you’re stuck with what they put down.
States who do allow legal sex changes require various amounts of physical/medical work, but they also require a letter about your intent from your doctor or therapist. (For instance, Oklahoma requires you to have “sexual reassignment surgery” to change your birth cert, but I think there’s considerable latitude in what that can be, as long as you don’t wind up with the other sex’s gonads. But your doctor has to make a statement that what you got was SRS.)
So, it’s not like you could accidentally have some kind of terrible incident with a lawnmower and then discover you’d legally changed your sex, or anything. It’s mostly about intent, and also about the actions to back it up.
