They should have new IDs with their new gender's pics on them, right? When my friend had her SRS she got all new papers.

Dysfunctional? Emotionally disturbed? Or, do you just have this innate narcissism that requires you to bring attention to yourself and your preferred sexual perversion at every point of everyday conversation?

THEN, WELCOME TO NEW YORK!!!

We'll not only "tolerate" your dysfunction,bizarre, perversions, we'll actually move heaven and earth to make sure that no matter how asocial and disturbed your particular brand of "Me-ism" is, WE will change the rules (and even break the law) to make sure that you're as comfortable as you were in the Green Room of the Jerry Springer Show!

That's rght! We will SPARE NO EXPENSE to facilitate whatever deeply disturbed emotional and sexual delusions you may harbor in a desperate attempt to prove we're not bigoted.
Ever.
Against anythng.

(And PLEASE, be patient. We're working hard on the beastality and pedophile thing, but be patient. The people from PETA are up in arms and we've had that Catholic priest thing that put our embrace of sexual pathologies back by years. And the tenants associations always seem to complain about the smell with the necrophilia thing --- but we're workng on it! Honest!)

Gosh Paula, it seems like the whole world is against you. The gay won't die out. All these trannies keep turning their innies into outties. The liberals want to raise your taxes and spend it on abortions. All the toilet paper is now recycled and hurts your bum.

You keep trying to change it but nothing seems to work. The gay are sparklier than ever and wont stop kissing and more innies are turning into outties than ever before, no matter how much you tell them that it grosses you out. It's like, how many sour-milk faces do I have to make before they just realize the truth, am I right?

If they want to live those lives, they should go elsewhere and start their own country or state. There's no reason we should have to tolereate it.

You can bitch and whine about it all you want, but I think this country is very far away from the systematic genocide of all transsexual people. They are everywhere and when you sleep they rub their micro weenies on your forehead and laugh.

But listen, in like 50 years you'll be dead and those trannies won't bother you at all. So thats a plus, right?

Spoken like a true hater of freedom and human rights. If you hate other people's freedom so much you are always free to leave this country.

"It's unclear why the worker asked for more ID"

because it seemed like they had fake IDs. I don't know for sure but maybe the worker was just doing his job

that's what i was thinking too. but then again i'm not a city clerk and neither is the author of this article.

if jumping to conclusions makes everyone feel justified well, have at it!

Another reason government should be out of the marriage business. Find someone else to marry you and file your legal agreement with the clerk. Call it whatever you want. Let the Christians and the gays fight it out without our tax dollars.

The government, give up some of its power? But then how will they butt into people's private lives?

Not a bad idea at all.

I am glad this was resolved & with an apology to boot.

It would be better resolved with a lawsuit.

"The couple, one male to female transgender and the other female to male..."

Yuck.

Is it still 'yuck' if I replace 'transgender' with black? Or howabout a white male and asian woman? That isn't 'yuck' right?

wow - you win the 'stretch an analogy to its most ridiculous conclusion' award. your kick in the nuts is in the mail.

O, cuz as a puss-ass pussy you wouldn't be able to attempt it in person - no problem.

We get it; transsexual people make you feel 'yuckie'. Now if you would let the adults continue discussing, thanks.

Must everything be twisted into a race issue?

A person's race is natural. Having one's genitals carved up and removed or grafted from one part of the body to the other is not.

No not in this case, because this is a human rights issue. Regardless of the denomination of the person.

Your personal views are not applicable here.

Gender identity and sexual expression are dependent on extremely complex biological and psychological workings that we barely know anything about and just beginning to research.

I can guarantee that you have less expertise than an ashtray talking about what is and isn't natural in those circumstances.
