Irish proposals designed to give transgender people more rights will break up happy families, trans campaigners say.
The plans say that trans people who married in their old gender will have to divorce or legally separate in order to be recognised in their new gender, regardless of whether they remain in a loving relationship with their partner.

Kinda mixed emotions --- in some ways its good --- then it shows a true recognition of the true gender .... but really is it necessary --- guess another reason why gay marriage is an important issue for us transfolks as well.
