Rare (hopefully) Political Rant (part 1)

A few things make me nervous politically.

One is the idea of denying any TS marriage. Sure, a TS can get married in all but a couple states but the legal foundation of that marriage is at the whim of the courts.

As long as you stay in line and are nice to your hubby (and ignore any infractions on his part) there isn't a problem. As long as you don't want any RIGHTS, you're fine. But if someone wants your Spouses money or someone happens to, I don't know, KILL him then suddenly your marriage isn't valid.

It's like if you adopt a child and then move to another state and that state decides that your adoption isn't up to snuff. So they take your child and give him to someone else. Your legal rights are only as strong as the court system that supports your rights. Basically you are at someones whim and personal moral opinion.

That sucks.

National ID cards. If we go to a national ID card then how will Gender changes be taken into account? If you combine the laws of all the states, it is most likely that you will use the most stringent standards.

Grrrr.

Electronic health records. Want Doctor Patient confidentiality? Not gonna happen.
