Any documentation to this effect? I've never heard of this "law".
It's a man, baby!
If you want to take the "state by state" route (which conflicts with your previous argument when you started tossing around the word "federal"), it's been shown that Texas does not recognize this, and that it goes by status at birth. This means that it would be considered a homosexual union, which de facto removed the enforcability of this contract, making it unilaterally voidable.
You defend your hyper-liberal girlie argument. I'll use the law. We'll see who stands at the end of the day.
All it shows is that she defrauded the government and should be prosecuted.
Um, because she asked the state of Texas for documentation stating that she's female when she's not?
Did you really just ask me that question?
Fooling a civil service worker isn't exactly difficult. I could get a Social Security card for a Jacques Strap in two weeks if I so felt like it.
Aren't you just the cutest little thing. You actually believe that government workers are so smart and fool-proof.
That's darling.
Ok, this makes my head hurt. If the state has a documentation process to legally change your gender, so be it. Honestly couldn't care.
Still doesn't change the premise that the marriage was based upon fraud, and that he should have legal discourse to prevent her from getting one red cent.
All this does is make me want to get married, cheat on my wife incessantly, and tell her to "deal with it, bitch".
Yeah, it doesn't work like that. Have fun getting arrested, as far as I know, you need to have SRS, or be living in your chosen gender for over a year, with a therapist recommendation to qualify to have your legal documents changed. And if she was able to get married, then by law she is recognized as a female.
Once again, the one true crime is the institute of marriage. Or at least the ignorance of getting a pre-nup. A woman shouldn't get half your stuff whether you cheated on her, she's really a dude, or she just wouldn't give you the threesome.
Maybe he needs to lose half his crap. He won't make that mistake again.
I currently am working with someone who is transgendered and considering SRS. From what I know, what you stated above is accurate. Since she has not gone through any changes as of yet, I am not completely up on the laws, but I have lots of resources at my disposal, and I will try to find out. As far as I know, legally, once SRS has been completed, she would be a female, and regardless of what Texas thinks, federal statutes on this would prevail... as they should. I will look more into this, however.
Also, the husband's lack of knowledge of her sex-change status is irrelevant. If she had been a prostitute and had not disclosed that prior to her marriage, that would not be considered fraud.
The wife should absolutely lose. Marriage is a contract, and when you lie about your gender you make the contract unilaterally voidable.
In fact, I'd support him if he decided to sue.
Legally she can be called a woman but if you are born with a penis you are a transgendered female. You just cannot completely ignore that fact. It is ridiculous that she didn't share such a really important detail with the one she married. We marry people to share our burdens. I think he had a right to know. She perpetrated a fraud pure and simple. If it can be proved that he left her after finding out about it I don't think she should get the money.
How do we know she didn't? It is her word against her mother-in-law's word at the moment. Where is the mother's proof that her son didn't know about his wife being born a man? If the mother has proof that her son didn't know his wife is transgendered, then I'd say she has a good case. But she is the one that should have to provide proof that the transgendered wife was committing fraud, not the other way around.

I am not sure what to think. Interested in your perspective. Personally, I think they should stop wasting taxpayers time.
People will do anything for money. That is what all this boils down to.
So should the mom get the money or the transgendered wife?
