Court: Transgender Man Can Keep Pursuing Divorce
ABC News ^ | August 13, 2014 | By JACQUES BILLEAUD - AP

A transgender man in Arizona who gave birth to three children after beginning to change from female to male can continue to pursue a divorce, a state appeals court said Wednesday in reversing a judge who refused to end the marriage.

A three-judge panel of the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled that Thomas Beatie's marriage to Nancy Beatie in Hawaii in 2003 is considered valid in Arizona and concluded it wasn't a same-sex union.

Last year, a lower court judge denied the divorce request and ruled that Arizona's ban on same-sex marriages prevented the marriage from being recognized as valid.

The three-judge panel was able to change “Thomas” Beatie’s chromosomes from XX to XY? We sure are inundated with myriads of King Canutes.

A woman who retained the physical ability to get pregnant is not a man.

Sorry, children, it’s a same sex union. One of them has just been... altered.

A transgender man in Arizona who gave birth . . .

Reporter Jacques Billeaud evidently flunked Biology 101.

If the marriage isn’t valid, then a divorce is not needed.

A ruling of NULITY should be ridiculously easy to obtain...

I wish newspapers would write as you did. Nice to read the truth about those deeply ill people. I’ve read only about 20% bother to get the genital mutilation surgery. As long as people play along with their fantasies (phantasies?), they’re able to pretend.

ridiculous

These reporters should be shot for lying. A man is not a woman and a woman is not a man.
