DOMA Ruling


Guest Syamantaka

Recommended Posts

Guest Sarah Faith

I never said that this wasn't a big deal to those who are directly effected, and it's great but I do think it is being blown out of proportion this is not on the level of the 1964 civil rights act. That was an act of legislation, and the legislative branch will influence their decisions based on public opinion and as far as I know they are still too afraid to pass any real legislation on this issue. The court simply interprets law vs the constitution, and their opinions are usually not influenced by public opinion because they are not elected officials. Also remember that they chose to not rule on Prop 8 leaving states with the authority to make their own determination. There is no federal mandate that gay marriages are a constitutionally mandated civil right, and this is not the grand victory that some are making it out to be this is more of a stepping stone if anything.

The DOMA ruling may be important for many of you and that is fine, but that still doesn't make it a transgender issue. You may be lesbian gay or bi, and also trans making the DOMA ruling insanely important to you, but that doesn't automatically make this bleed over into a primary trans issue. If you look at things from a LGBT view then sure this may be an important issue to you, but I simply do not see gender and sexuality as even remotely the same thing. I am defined by my gender first, and my sexuality wayyy after that and I am far more interested in trans specific legislation and rulings. So I am just not going to be as excited about this ruling as many people seem to expect of me, LGB issues take a huge backseat to me over trans issues. I am flatly going to say I was far more elated about the Coy Mathis civil rights ruling than I am about this, because that is a purely trans issue.

Many of you are as passionate about LGB issues as you are about trans issues, but not all of us are and many of the younger transpeople I know and who I have talked too feel the same. We're happy for the LGB community but please do not thrust this on us and expect us to be as happy about it as you are. I am happy and it was the right ruling but I just don't see this as a trans issue.

I wanted to add something else. I doubt feel that the LGB should be obligated to help us after they receive their rights. I don't want someone's help out of obligation, but if it comes from the heart because it is the right thing to do. We may not receive support from the total LGB community, but we will receive some. We will also receive support from other sources too.

Help will come from those who want to do what is right and are caring. We shouldn't turn people like this away because of our own pride.

This isn't a matter of pride to me when I say we need to learn to stand on our own, it's just a matter of being prepared to do so when we can no longer ride on anyone's coat tails. I am also not saying that the transcommunity should turn away any help that is offered, all I am saying is that there is a distinction between LGB issues and Trans issues. Can some bleed over and effect the other? Sure, but that still does not mean that our issues are the same. DOMA is a primarily LGB issue that has some effect on some transpeople, but it is still a LGB issue first and foremost.

Hugs,

For those who are not believe and propagating the idea that, hey I can just ignore estate issues, and spousal right can't be challenged, I wouldn't be so reliant upon that.

This isn't going to change that materially.

But if people want to believe that, ignore real issues while hyping up non issues to find something to claim this solves...that is their choice.

I just say protect yourself legally in case one item is challenged there is still documentation.

There is a lot I don't know about the legal and tax issues related to being married and trans. So some of what is being said about potential problems could be entirely true, and I may just be naive to think otherwise. My birth certificate says male and I won't be changing it. My marriage certificate has my old name, and I won't be changing that unless I have to. So me and my spouse are in some in-between world, just like many of you. I won't know if there is a problem until one crops up, and I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

I've been filing tax returns under my new name for two years. So far, no problems whatsoever. But with this DOMA ruling, I suppose there won't be a problem in the future. My spouse will get SS benefits someday, and I don't anticipate any problems with that. What could get interesting is when, in the next year, we see an attorney about setting up a will or living trust. With my house and other things still under my old name, and my birth cert under my old name, it could get complicated. I might find an LGBT attorney who has experience in this arena, but I don't think that will be easy.

Where I see a problem for some is when a married trans person has gotten their gender marker changed on their birth certificate, and moves to a state that doesn't recognize same sex marriage. I'm not sure what might happen, but it could be tricky. Then again, I don't think any state in the Union can force an annulment on a couple who were legally married to begin with.

Bottom line is, the DOMA decision was great. Now we move on to the next legal battle; getting the Feds to force all states to recognize same sex marriages done in those states that allow it.

I suppose my question Carolyn, would be is why the next big legal battle for the transgender community federally mandated same sex marriage laws? I would think the next big battle for the transgender community should be getting anti-discrimination laws for transgender individuals in place in more than a handful of states.

That right there is why I don't jump out of my skin with excitement with things like DOMA, it just feels to me like far too many in the transgender community are more than content that our issues take a back seat to predominantly LGB issues. Sure I want to be able to marry whoever with out worry, but you know what I want more than the freaking right to marry? I'd like to have the right to use the bathroom in any state with out fear of some lunatic trying to card me and throwing my butt in jail as a sexual predator. LGB issues do not override the importance of trans issues in my opinion, just because our community is natural allies to the LGB community does not mean we should adopt their issues above our own.

Being able to marry is a luxury issue compared to the basic rights that are still not protected in many states for trans people.

This discussion seems to almost be floating the strawman that people who don't think our best interests are with the LGB also support the DOMA.

Is anyone here stating that marriage should be between a man and a woman?

I'm not and any kind of safety that one feels they get from that, good for you. I wouldn't rob you of that. I think it's much ado about nothing. My opinion :)

It has zero to do with if we should align with LGB or if it is in our best interests.

Saying DOMA is a trans law is like saying the Lilly Ledbetter act that I mentioned above that would cover about half of the Trans population at any time who are 'Federally Female' is a trans law.

And Sarah, thank you for all of your posts of reason. Which is kind of an indirect way of saying people that don't agree with me are unreasonable. I cracked the code.

That's it exactly, Carolyn. Aside from knowing Jenny and Victoria, and Jessica and Dawn and talking with them, I've done lots of checking with regards to this, what with that whole future in front of me. If the marriage is legal at the time the two people are married, then there is no problem down the road. You are, and always will be, married, as far as the Feds are concerned. State laws may (and of course do) vary, so couples may run into some things there.

The real fun is when you marry someone AFTER you change your documentation. Just as one example, in Kansas I believe, the children of a remarried man, who married a post-op MTF with documents changed, were able to disqualify her from the will after he died. The marriage certificate was obtained fraudulently, since Kansas didn't recognize the documentation change, and the marriage wasn't legal to begin with, by Kansas state law. Getting one's ducks in a row well before getting married post-transition, especially in states where things may be "hazy," is a must.

Saran, I guess I wasn't clear in my comment. When I mentioned the next big legal battle, I was referring to the same sex marriage issue only. I heartily agree that the big legal battles for the TG community include health care, workplace protections, and access to restrooms, among others.

Which is kind of an indirect way of saying people that don't agree with me are unreasonable.

I think your conclusions are reasonable, Kimberly. After all, Burton Hillis said, "There's a might big difference between good, sound reasons and reasons that sound good." ;)

Hi All,

Due to the topic area I steel myself and dispense with comic sans mid blue size 14. (just pretend it is please!)

Please forgive the intrusion,

As a non-combatant:

Firstly…… A truism …….. In Unity There is Strength.

So ‘steady the Buffs!’.

Always maintain a united front in the face of the Enemy!

It strikes me that the whole DOMA thing is tainted goods. The sole reason for it’s being is purely out of homophobia and to construct a ‘wall’ around what was then perceived as ‘us’ and to keep ‘them’ out and separate and so on. It appears to be bad legislation from the beginning, even the title is ……. Wrong. It does not defend it denies…..

I think that the term Marriage requires a redefinition. What is marriage? …. Essentially that is?

To me it is the union of two people who agree to life partnership in order to face the world henceforth as a complete unit. As such it requires proper provision under the aegis of Contract Law perhaps. What do you think?

The Sexuality of the couple is not relevant.

The Gender of the couple is not relevant.

Any Transexuality of the couple is not relevant.

And so on……..

What is relevant is the agreement to face things together.

That I suggest is what you should shoot for in your United States. I would imagine that many already are?

Please don’t shoot me ‘cos I’m not one of ‘you’ because I am actually one of us all.

We are having our own kind of ‘fun’ on this subject over here too you know, but even our ‘public schoolboy’ Prime minister is addressing the issue ….. quite forthrightly ….

For a Conservative P.M. - that is!

I enjoyed your debate by the way.

Michelle,

I doubt people could be offended by your opinion. But as I stated above, there isn't a call that I see on this topic for a reinstatement of the DOMA. It's more of an indifference and a feeling that there are plenty of things out there that can be pushed for that are directly related to trans issues. But shortly after HRC made the comment of gay marriage in 50 states in 5 years, Pelosi ran with it in the US house. No mention of trans in the military though.

Hi Kimberly,

I take your point, and thank you for your kind words.

My point is that if one defines marriage as "....... " one can start anew. Without gender or sexuality or 'belief structure mix' or whatever being the issue. A marriage is ........ as defined. I leave it to you all to define your own 'marriage'.

I do point out that the current 'definition' seems to be 'wanting' judging by the failure rate in your society at present.

It is an observation not a judgement for I do know enough not to cast stones when living in a glass house! :lol:

I just deleted a bit about service in the military K if you would like that please PM me.

Ok, let me be the dissenting voice here. And let me explain why DOMA matters.

In Texas, the state attorney general has publicly stated that he intends to base all transgender rules off the outcome of the Nikki Araguz case. What is at stake in the Nikki Araguz case? Using the attorney general's own words, everything from gender identity changes on driver's licenses and birth certificates to whom we can or cannot marry. Everything about being who you believe you are is subject to revocation by an old white Republican who admits he dislikes transgender people and who bases his logic on the state's same sex marriage ban.

So why does DOMA matter in states like Texas? While DOMA doesn't directly apply to states like Texas, it does provide the further legal basis to challenge same sex marriage bans. We are seeing such lawsuits now begin in states that attempt to ban same-sex marriage as a denial of equal rights under the law. And if those bans are overturned because of DOMA, particularly here in Texas, the case against Nikki Araguz collapses and cannot be used as a basis for further discrimination against transgender individuals.

Sure, DOMA doesn't directly affect lots of us. But DOMA does directly affect some of us and not just in the realm of marriage alone but even in matters of legal documents, etc. No legal decision ever stands in isolation. Legal decisions form a vast network of precedence and priority. I am hopeful that the DOMA decision will influence Judge Randy Clapp ® of Wharton, Texas to rule in our favor and that Nikki is legally a woman.

And if he does not, this logic will be used in other states and if your driver's license currently lists you as your chosen gender, that may be taken away from you. You may be forcibly legally detransitioned if this sort of logic is allowed to occur and move forward.

DOMA is part of a network of legal precedents that hopefully can push this decision in the right direction instead of the wrong direction.

      They may win a few battles but not the war! as @Davie pointed out there is little truth if it full of lies, inconsistencies, and ignores evidence to the contrary. I saw this article earlier and have to agree here. Truth will win. This isn’t the first time this tactic has been tried. Always stick with the truth!

      Welcome @violet r! Glad you joined our forum and got through the hardest part…that first post. As many have mentioned, we are more than accepting here as we affirm your gender identity and hold no judgement, whatsoever. There’s so much here on this forum, I think you’ll find very helpful. If you have trouble finding an answer just reach out, try the search but starting a new thread is usually best to get some quick answers. Many are here for various transgender related issues but many, if not all, are here to help one another if we can. It’s great to have you onboard.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      good evening   good day at work today.  I did do some things a little out of normal but everything was completed successfully.  As I said earlier, the Asst Mgr was my second today.  I don’t think she was too happy about that.  Several customers asked her where Richard was her answer was the manager cut his hours.  Well that is only part of the story,  his hours were cut just like mine were and several others but in his case he made demands about his hours that couldn’t be met.  But instead of making some non complaining remark about it she made sure to lay it all on the manager, thus throwing the manager under the bus.  Similarly when asked why she hadn’t been at work early mornings, she said she was being punished by the manager.  Well that’s partly true, she wouldn’t do what the manager told her to do so she took her off opening.  But secondarily she didn’t have a car to drive temporarily.  You can’t open the store without a car because who ever opens has tasks that require them to leave the store, so it was  at least partly her own fault.  But she chose to throw the manager under the bus for that.  I think she is asking to be fired for insubordination.  And if the manager gets these conversations off the security tape tomorrow she just might get her wish.   im pretty close to being ready to take the asst position but there isn’t anyone ready to take over my job, at least not at our store.  I suppose the other shift lead could if she is able to work earlier shifts and if the other closers were just a bit more reliable.   Ive been wanting some homefried chicken.  We found a BBQ place not far away that had such a chicken but I is made fresh when ordered so it has a 30 minute wait.  It was worth the wait and the other things we tried were also good.  Another restaurant on the list.  At least half of what we ordered came home for another meal.   i get to sleep in tomorrow, I go to work at 1:30!   Willow

      It was nine thirty.  Saturday morning had rolled around more quickly than Taylor could believe.  She groaned, whined, thought of a million excuses why she should just stay in bed and knock the alarm across the room.  But it would still be going on, and so would the promise to Bob: when the gi came in, she would be in. There it was in its nice package, out where she could not miss it.  Why didn't she hide it?  She shook her head.   Up she got.  Sometimes you just do.  Her hair was a wreck. She patted it down and went to the bathroom.  Nine forty five. Shower later. No make up. She hated kara-tay especially at an ungodly early hour on a Saturday morning. Bagel. Instant coffee.  She was five minutes away when she realized she had forgotten the gi.  Back she went.   Into the dojo.  She had about five minutes to get the gi on.  She attempted to slip in unnoticed and go to the little restroom. Someone barked something out in Japanese or something, and there was a dead silence.  She turned to see what was going on. Both classes were getting into their lines, but everyone, including Bob, was bowing slightly. To her. Bob nodded, and she returned the bow.  Life started again. She was touched.   Bowing three times. Oath. Kata.  She was facing off with Judy as her partner.  Judy looked worried.   "Sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up and try again," Taylor told her. She nodded. "Let's do this."   Lunge punch and lower block.  They traded off like nothing had happened the last weekend.  Lunge punch and middle block. Lunge punch and upper block.  It was kind of like dancing. Taylor enjoyed it.  She wanted to learn more.  Brown-belt Maggie adjusted position of limbs and hips for both Taylor and Judy, telling them when she was about to do something: elbow up a bit".    "How'd you do?" Bob asked her later.  They had both gone home and showered. Now they were in a booth at a fast food place.   "I was kind of disappointed class ended. I was ready for more."   "That's my trooper."   "I'm not allowing you in my apartment until we are married," she said suddenly.   "You think I am a problem?"   "No.  I think you are safe. You passed the test  I am the problem here."   "Okay."   "What did the doctor tell you?"   "It's complicated.  More tests coming.  Like getting into college.  I got a letter back.  It seems there is this big fat M on my transcript and my current picture is not an M type picture.  I have to write a letter and send them notarized proofs and stuff. Just delays. This is a pain. Nothing cut and dried."   "I will say.  I'm glad I'm not transgender."   "Hah. You are pulled into my world.  You are involved in this stuff as much as I am, and, as you put it, of your own free will."   "You are worth it."   "I hope so."   "I know so."

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      Boyfriend and I went to a support group for spouses dating or married to a transgender person on Tuesday night for the first time.It was amazing meeting other couples like us.One was a genetic woman whom has been dating a transgender male for the first time and she is supporting his transition.Us,they were amazed by us agreeing on something we said,love and acceptance have brought us together

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.
