As the UK is implementing the Equal Marriage Act, the IT systems used by the government are being enhanced to deal with this. It is an unfortunate fact that many of us who are married at the time we come to understand our gender issues, find that being ourselves means going through a divorce. Given that this can take "some time" there is the possibility that someone changes their identified gender mid-way through the process.
This leads to all sorts of interesting questions: should the marriage now be recorded as a same sex marriage or not? What if one party feels one way about it and the other differently. Should it be possible for the marriage to remain recorded as different sex but with both parties recorded as the same gender? And probably a few more I haven't thought of.
I would be really interested to hear what everyone else's feelings are around this as, while I have my own ideas, everyone's transition is different and it would be good to get other's opinions.
