The writings and all governments already recognize marriage between a
man and a woman. Just because after marriage one spouse chooses to
physically alter their body by surgery wouldn't invalidate the marriage,
which even states that prohibit gay marriage are bound to continue to
recognize. After all, chromosomally the couple remain different. Many
men have come home from war less than completely intact; it doesn't
invalidate their marriage. Some men like to wear women's clothing; it
doesn't invalidate their marriage. Add the two together. Given the
Faith's acceptance of diversity and respect for medical advice, it's
only a matter of time before there is a married couple in the Faith with
one or both spouses who are transsexuals. In fact, there already may be
one whose marriage is accepted! When people are legally married who can
question it or disprove it? Who is going to check their physical gender
characteristics or their chromosomes?
