Texas's AG, who recently stepped into a court case from a married, same-sex couple asking to divorce in Texas, is being asked to consider a marriage license for a cis woman and a trans woman. The trans woman, Sabrina Hill, was born intersex, was assigned male, and transitioned after learning about her body at age 28. Here's a bit on her paperwork:

    "In February of this year, Hill and another woman asked the El Paso County Clerk for a marriage license. As proof of identification, Hill offered a New York birth certificate identifying her as a male, a Washington State court order changing her name to Sabrina, and an Arizona driver's license that identified her as a female."

Either the AG gets the identity wrong and has to let the marriage go through, or the AG gets the identity right and denies it on the basis of them being two women.  Of course, the case can also get confounded by the difference between sex and gender.

It's cases like these that show why prohibiting same-sex marriage is a flawed policy.  Besides that the the policy is immoral and religion-centric to begin with.
