Ask a trans person!

thank you for asking Linus. You can go to ABCnews web site to watch the story. Just check the 20/20 link for yesterday's show. A short synopsis though; a mtf transgendered person becomes a widow of a fireman who lost his life fighting a fire. His family found out that she was born a man and is now suing her for survivor's benefits totalling almost a million dollars citing their marriage was not legal in TX. The surgery was done before marriage, the husband was well aware of the circumstances and she had her name changed on DL and other legal papers. It was very touching and emphasizes how far we have to go.
