PHOENIX—An Arizona judge on Friday refused to grant a divorce for a transgender Arizona man who gave birth to three children after beginning to change his sex from female. Maricopa County Family Court Judge Douglas Gerlach ruled that Arizona's ban on same-sex marriages prevents Thomas Beatie's nine-year union from being recognized as valid. Thomas Beatie was born a woman and underwent a double-mastectomy but retained female reproductive organs and gave birth to three children. Gerlach said he had no jurisdiction to approve a divorce because there's insufficient evidence that Beatie was a man when he married Nancy Beatie in Hawaii.

The city's Health Commission voted Tuesday to create a comprehensive program for treating transgender people experiencing mental distress because of the mismatch between their bodies and their gender identities.

AUBURN, Wash. – Some of the main restrooms on the Green River Community College campus are being transformed into gender neutral spots this week to raise awareness for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Why the change? "Let’s say there’s a transgender born a male transitioning to be a female and there is male in there and assumes it might be a female and they don't like that, and harasses them. That student is not going to use the restroom anymore,” said Dani Chang, GRCC Director of Student Services. While there hasn’t been an issue yet, Chang said the...

What I have for you here is an example of a racists black on white crime, that many on the left will never mention when accusing white people in America of being racists. At a McDonald's a customer or employee is filming two black girls mercilessly beating a white girl until she is laying in a corner convulsing while near death. The manager who is also black makes a weak attempt at stopping the beating, but you can tell he is not interested in stopping it, or he would have had his employees who are also watching help him...
