As a post-transsexual lesbian I assume that my relationship with any woman either WBT or assigned female at birth is on shaky ground legally.
I know that I can be legally married in a handful of states and not have that marriage recognized beyond the boundaries of those states.
Hence I work for marriage equality for all.
Heterosexual transsexuals have been rubbing my nose in their ability to marry their partners ever since I came out as lesbian in 1975. That is heterosexual privilege.
The problem is heterosexual post-transsexuals are used to using that heterosexual privilege and aren't as careful when examining the laws governing the marriage of post-op men and women.
