The local news covers the story of a trans man in Michigan denied a marriage license even though he had all the paperwork needed. This story says a lot about how politics, which is people of differing opinions on everything coming to agreements, can't really decide on the boundary between the sexes.

He didn't change his birth certificate -.- of course that would happen.
On another note, they just need to legalize same sex marriage already.

I was just married in Maui, have not heard that there were any issues yet. They did not ask for my birth-certificate. I guess I will wait and see as I still need to change my birth certificate.
