"Are you saying the transgender was a woman who was genetically a man?"

Yup.

And you know this because you read it in the newspaper? Any links to articles?

...Second, I doubt you would see it as insignificant if it were your daughter's/son's life impacted -- that your daughter found out that she couldn't marry the man she loved because she turned out to be a man, herself. It happens...

Those are two different cases: a woman - genetically a man - wants to marry a man vs. a woman - genetically a man - who wants to marry another woman.

According to your example, the latter would be legal, not the former.

"And you know this because you read it in the newspaper?"

I did.

"Any links to articles?"

Not right offhand. You can probably find a similar news story pretty easily with a search, though. It's what happens when you restrict yourself to a genetic definition.

"According to your example, the latter would be legal, not the former."

I'm sorry that I wasn't very clear. There are certainly XY people out there who lack male genitalia and believe themselves to be female -- until they have testing for some reason. I was hypothesizing that your "daughter" turned out to be one of those after falling in love with a man. You would, after all, have raised "her" in a manner consistent with "her" external genitalia. However, that marriage would be illegal in some (though not all) states.
