This is a story from Texas, and how someone got to be denied the one thing that Democracies depend on. The Franchise. The Right to Vote.

Where to begin... start with a court case. One involving medical malpractice.

From Transsexualism and the Binary Divide: Determining Sex Using Objective Criteria by Dean of the Liberty University Law School, Matthew D. Staver.

    Liberty University is a private, Baptist, Evangelical Christian university located in Lynchburg, Virginia. - Wikipedia

Background to the case, again from Wiki :

    (Christie Lee) Littleton was born in San Antonio, Texas. She dropped out of school at age 15 and began living as a woman. In 1977 she began taking female hormones and legally changed her name to Christie Lee Cavazos. In 1980 she completed her surgical reassignment and had her state-issued identification changed to female. In the 1990s she met and married Jonathan Mark Littleton in Kentucky, later moving to San Antonio, where she worked at a salon and he worked as a window washer. After her husband's death, Littleton brought a medical malpractice suit against her husband's doctor, Mark Prange.
