About 10 years ago, I wandered by a TV set that was showing the old daytime Geraldo Rivera Show (now outlawed in 31 states). He had on his show "Transsexual Lesbians". These were women that were formerly men who dated women who had the sex change operation and appropriate hormone therapy and were now full-flegged women - who wanted to date - women.
So we had Betty, formerly Bob...now named Betty him or herself...who wanted to date Bonnie, and the bottom line here was Bob...errrrr...Betty...was having identification and identity issues.
Noooooooooo way!
Currently on the docket in New York State is a lawsuit filed by 7 people. Each of them has had the sex change operation, and of the seven you have 4 women that were formally men and three men that were formally women.
Their complaint? They are suing the state because the state says they have to register their gender as the gender they are currently at. Is your head spinning yet?
Ok, let me simplify it for you. Bob, formerly Betty, wants to be Betty but wants her gender to be listed as one of a Bob. Betty, formerly Bob, wants to be known as Bob but wants her gender to be known as Betty's. Go it now?
Look, the way I see it is this. You can be a bowling ball, or you can be an apple...but you can't be a bapple ball. I'm putting my foot down on this one Bob...what?
Oh. I'm sorry...Betty.
