And this goes to how important it is for our entire community to support same-sex marriage as well as legislation like ENDA and laws in every state recognizing and legally sanctioning reassignment of sex/gender on birth records. Hell, this all needs to be part of a federal constitutional amendment! I just don't see any other way for these kinds of human and civil rights to ever be recognized if each state can just have their own legislation covering them. I have yet to see state's rights fall on the side of human or civil rights!
It takes unity to get these kinds of things changed. And this isn't just a Texas or transgendered issue at all.
