I just hope for the day that marriage is legal no matter what. As long as they are both consenting adults, why should it be anyone elses concern?

You can get "same sex" marriages in the US, it's just that the marriages are not recognized by the Fed and certain states. There are gay people here in SD that get married all the time. The big thing people really want are the tax breaks and other benefits that come from being "married", which brings up the next question of why the Fed has a say in who can get married.

But yes, trying to pull one over on Uncle Sam can lead to some very harsh jail time and or fines.

Yes shadows, I completely agree with what you said. All marriage is is a social contract between two consenting adults and when the issue ever gets to the SCOTUS, hopefully they will look at it the same way.

Same sex marriage is legal in Canada as well as several other countries. If a man, in Canada, marries a transwoman it is considered a same sex marriage. It's the same if a woman marries a transman. I look forward to the day when such marriages are not looked upon as same sex marriages, mainly so that it will give the dignity of recognizing that the trans partner in a marriage is really the gender that he or she identifies as.

I would love to have a transsexual woman as my wife and the shockwave such a marriage would undoubtedly cause among my friends (not so much my direct family) could not prevent me from fulfilling my dream.
I often fantasise about such a marriage and even see myself on my knees proposing to the girl I love and adore.

But I guess it will always remain a dream. It's hard enough finding a pre-op girl who's interested in women.

My man found one.

He recommends interacting on trans message boards like this one,
find someone you are attracted to. Interact on the boards
find if there are areas of common interest.
Avoid sex in conversations.
And if you click, meet as friends.
Then if you both feel there is more there, talk & suggest a date.

I came across a survey conducted among transsexual women on the option of freezing sperm before transitioning. This particular part of the outcome really left me stunned.

Of 120 women answering the question concerning their sexual orientation, 22 considered themselves to be asexual, 30 heterosexual (being attracted to men), 34 lesbian (being attracted to women) and 34 bisexual. This strongly correlates with the answers to the question on present partnership: 67 of the respondents had no partner, 39 lived together with a woman (of whom 10 were transsexual women) and only 14 with a man (one of whom being a transsexual man).

So, where on earth are all the lesbians hiding?

Should anyone be interested, the survey can be found here:

I would marry a trans woman. Hopefully an Asian ladyboy.

In my city.
We all go to each other's weddings.
