Gender test ordered in divorce case (Wonder Woman, aka Victor Victoria, Texas)

Her driver's license indicates she's a man, but Linda Gail Carter insists she's a woman.

On Tuesday, a judge ordered Carter to undergo genetic testing to determine her true sex as part of her lawsuit to dissolve her marriage to another woman.

Following a request by Carter's wife, Constance D. Gonzales, state Family Court Judge Lisa Millard ordered the testing and placed a gag order in the case.

In another twist, one of Carter's former employees claimed Carter has been using her former male name and dressing as a man. The employee claimed he and his wife were married in 2002 by Carter, who was then using a male name even though she had legally changed sexes four years earlier.

Carter, formerly James H. Murphy, legally changed her name and gender in May 1998. She married Gonzales in Las Vegas on Oct. 31 that year.

In a dispute over management of Veterans Funeral Services at 10567 Memorial Drive in Houston and other properties, Carter sued last August to dissolve the marriage.

The court had given Gonzales control of the business, and Carter hoped to regain control by dissolving the marriage.

Millard had ordered a genetic test Nov. 13, and the state 14th Court of Appeals upheld the ruling Nov. 19. The Supreme Court of Texas on Dec. 1 denied Carter's appeal.

The judge's original order said a test was needed because Carter "is 6-foot-4, weighs 275 pounds and purportedly has male genitals." According to case law, only chromosomes can determine sex, Millard wrote. "In short, once a man, always a man," she wrote.

I would just like to take this moment to explain to everyone that being gay is normal and there's nothing to worry about.

I'm just going to sit back and watch the keywords list on this one :o)

"In short, once a man, always a man," she wrote."""

That has been the standared in most divorce courts where someone went under the knife due to this mental illness.

Mental illness is now standard in the USA. It is now acceptable, so get with the program. It is now acceptable to have the mentally ill in public office, and to even try to keep them out would be descrimination.

It appears, see, that if they'd just been sensible, and allowed marriage between any old two people, regardless of gender, then they wouldn't be having to do this silly gender test.

"My true sex is whatever I say it is! If you don't validate my fantasy I'm going to sue!"

Thanks for the ping. Glock Rocks may have the right idea (Keywords), lol!

I saw a thread just a little bit ago about a whack county in Oregon has joined
the insanity and is issuing Homo Marriage licenses too !

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I'm sorry - it's early - I'm confused..... Did "he" marry a woman THEN change his, uh, whatever to become a woman? Why didn't the wife divorce him, er her, then? And why did he/she marry two other people, is he/she a minister?

Coffee....... with whiskey - quickly, please........

[Devil_Anse]

That's right! Hey, and let's pass a law that says dead people are alive IF THEY WANT TO BE! I want that law in place before the Grim Reaper tries to interfere with MY HUMAN RIGHTS!

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Now that we are experiencing the cultural splash for gay marriage, I would be interested in knowing the success rates for transsexuals.

The judge's original order said a test was needed because Carter "is 6-foot-4, weighs 275 pounds and purportedly has male genitals.

Yeah but did (s)he use his/her equipment to "consumate" the union? ;^)

Additional backaground(for anyone remotely interested). A pic of the blushing bride(s) found in what appears to be A VOICE for the gay blades in the Houston Area:

Gonzales(L); Murphy/Carter(R)

I ran across a new term for future reference when dealing with these strange creatures: "sexual reassignment procedures". The article is a hoot!

Gonzales(L); Murphy/Carter(R)

This is the kind of mess we get when Libertarians marry transgendered Republicans.

That's a MAN Baby!

[SwinneySwitch]

It takes more than chromosomes and testicles to make a real man!
