A transgender man in Arizona who gave birth to three children after beginning to change from female to male can continue to pursue a divorce, a state appeals court said Wednesday in reversing a judge who refused to end the marriage.
A three-judge panel of the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled that Thomas Beatie's marriage to Nancy Beatie in Hawaii in 2003 is considered valid in Arizona and concluded it wasn't a same-sex union.
Last year, a lower court judge denied the divorce request and ruled that Arizona's ban on same-sex marriages prevented the marriage from being recognized as valid.

Yeah, a man can “give birth.”
In what alternative universe?
Life’s changes can cause confusion. /S
It’s still Female no matter what
It still a woman RIGHT
The three-judge panel was able to change “Thomas” Beatie’s chromosomes from XX to XY? We sure are inundated with myriads of King Canutes.
This is just plain wrong.
A woman who retained the physical ability to get pregnant is not a man.
Sorry, children, it’s a same sex union. One of them has just been... altered.
Reporter Jacques Billeaud evidently flunked Biology 101.
If the marriage isn’t valid, then a divorce is not needed.
A ruling of NULITY should be ridiculously easy to obtain...
I wish newspapers would write as you did. Nice to read the truth about those deeply ill people. I’ve read only about 20% bother to get the genital mutilation surgery. As long as people play along with their fantasies (phantasies?), they’re able to pretend.
ridiculous
These reporters should be shot for lying. A man is not a woman and a woman is not a man.
