boytoy - a question; I'm a male to female transsexual, now - would it be OK for me to a) marry a woman? b) marry a man? because the whole gay/lesbian marriage thing, in my opinion anyway, only came to be in the UK at least because the EU insisted that the UK catch up with the rest of Europe (except Albania) and recognised our gender changes. Now right now, because I dont have a Gender Recognition Certificate, I still count as male for the purposes of marriage - and I could marry a woman without a problem. But once I get that piece of paper and my Birth Certificate is changed too, I then count as female for the purposes of marriage, and I cannot marry a woman, but I can marry a man. And I can get the Gender Recognition Certificate without having reassignment surgery. If I can effectively marry (and thats marry properly, not enter into a Civil Partnership as has been arranged for gay men and lesbians) anyone I wish, dependent on whether I apply for a piece of paper - how can it make any sense whatsoever, to forbid a man marrying a man, or a woman marrying a woman?
