"AUSTIN, Texas – Two years after Texas became one of the last states to allow transgendered people to use proof of their sex change to get a marriage license, Republican lawmakers are trying to roll back the clock.

Advocates for the transgendered say a proposal to bar transgendered people from getting married smacks of discrimination and would put their legally-granted marriages in danger of being nullified if challenged in court." [AP]

Actually I agree, but at the same time I don't need to force my preference on others.

The former. FTA: "... in cases of marriage, gender is assigned at birth and sticks with a person throughout their life even if they have a sex change."

Nullification of existing marriage contracts would require that the law be ex post facto. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that's allowed.
