Go Google Yourself.
I was googling myself and ran across something I don’t remember saying. Dated almost two years ago in a forum I stopped going to quickly.
- There’s something really subtle that nobody’s bothered to bring up. If you want to define marriage as between a “male” and a “female”, well, you’d have to then define what it is to be “male” or “female”.
Pause for a moment.
I’m supposedly male, right? Well, what happens if I cut my genitalia, and take some hormones to grow breasts. What sex am I then, and who can I marry? Am I previously male, and therefore able to marry men in my now female apparence? Am I female, and then unable to marry women in my now female apparence?
I think you understand the complexity of this. It’s not just transexuals, it’s intersexuals. “Hermaphrodites.” Some doctors would just assume cut them up at birth, “assigning” them genders at birth, but I believe they should be allowed to live out their lives however they see fit. Seriously, who can a hermaphrodite marry? Both? Neither? We’re all human. I think we should all be able to agree that we should be able to marry other sentient beings. (I’m somehow reminded of Star Trek.) I don’t see why what we have between our legs should dictate what type of human we are allowed to marry.

You are 100% right, except for the Star Trek thing. People are people and should be able to marry anyone of any gender they want.

I’ve always kind of found those stories interesting on people who surgically alter their gender. In a way it seems odd (not bad just surprising) that legally your gender would be changed along with having the operation. The world can be so rigid and uptight when it comes to so many things, then there are allowances for things that you wouldn’t expect there to be allowances for.
