QuoteDoesn't it just complicate things for all non-monogamous people?
Fer sure.
But there had always been an unwritten agreement between the str8 communities and the lesbian community to accomodate those women that wanted the security of a male spouse, and a woman on the side. Since her relationship with her female lover was not officially recognized, it had never been a problem.
But now, we have a whole new level of complexity, and perhaps legal wrangling based on this type of relationship. Plus, it allows a guy to jetison his wife if he catches her messing with a woman. In the past it was a wink-wink, nod-nod kind of deal. I mean, I don't know of any precedents where a guy could file for divorce based on infidelity if he caught his wife with another woman. Wouldn't he have been laughed out of court with that claim in the past?
Can you imagine the level of complexity if the wife gets caught with a woman that had transitioned? The legal status of the the transitioned person is kind of screwy in the law currently, so I am not sure how that would play out either?
It's an interesting new world, for sure.
