Paradoxically, a GRC will not be granted if you are currently married to a person of the opposite to your birth sex,
as this would be legally same sex marriage for a couple where one partner has obtained a GRC.
Hopefully this anomaly will alter with the incoming government,
then gay male marriages & lesbian marriages will be allowed.

Gay marriage is going to now happen in the UK, within the next 4 years:

I'm going to be honest. I love tgirls as much as I love women. To me, there's not much that seperates them. But, it all comes down to me wanting to have the traditional family. Having children the old fashioned way. I can't have that with a tgirl, so I'll simply never go out of my way to find a tgirl to marry.

However, I've never loved a tgirl. I've never really had much experience with them. If I did happen to fall in love with one, the answer may be different.

Are you suggesting that transwomen aren't women? Surely you realize that transwomen are female and therefore women.

It is possible to have a family while married to a transwoman. Adopt children and you will be able to have your family.

Hypo_Dude has a reasonable point:
He wants to pass on his genes with a partner....
& with a trans that is just not possible.

If that drive is core to a persons desired relationship,
then Hypo_Dude makes a sensible pre-emptive decision.
Why invest time & emotions in a partner
who is physically unable to ever fulfil that thing.

It's not disrespectful to any trans
nor should we take it to be so.

Cheers Jodie, that's exactly what I meant. I want children who are biologically related from me. It's absolutely nothing personal.

ila, what I was getting at was that I don't want to adopt. I wasn't disrespecting or trying to suggest that transwomen aren't women. Sorry if it came across that way.

No problem. I understand now what you are saying.

I want to get married one day.

It's a simple statement that causes so many problems , especially in the bible belt.
