Firstly, I'd like everyone's opinion on whether a sex change should be legal grounds for a divorce. Secondly, does anyone know of any sites for either side of the controversy? Or other places I can find info on it?

Marriage vows say do you , so in so take this man...... and do you so in so take this woman..... I think once that changes it may be time for some new vows! I have heard of marriages that have continued through this. I would love to say I was not so shallow as to call it quits but unfortunately I think this might break the bank for me sort of speak!
This all depends on how the spouse feels about this sex change.... If there is true love within the marriage, then I can see a spouse accept thier mates desire for a sex change. However, I would hope the one that wants the change, has a serious discussion with the spouse and includes the spouse in the counseling that a person needs to go through. This will help the spouse understand what is going on emotionally in their mate. Now, a spouse that does not want this sex change to occur, will more than likely divorce. It just all depends on the spouses level of love. I am not clear why someone would want a sex change when they are happily married and want to remain in the marriage then go off and do something this drastic that is potentially against the spouse's wishes.
Yes I feel a sex change should be grounds for a divorce. The thing is you marry someone, based on who they are, this is both a physical and mental bases. If one of the individuals has a sex change then, you could clime that the person was lying to you about who they were and that the marriage was all a lie. The person does not love you as a mate and this is evident in the fact that they had a sex change, in order to be attractive to people of the same sex.
Absolutely! If my spouse did that - I'm gone!!!
There should be no controversy about it. If I married a woman and she became a man - There is NO way I'd stick around with IT.
Man + Woman = Till death do you part. (or for All Time and Eternity). If my wife came home as Chuck one day, l could not, and would not put up with it.
That's me. Now if you BOTH decided that a sex change would be a good idea ... well then that's your deal. But if it was done without the spouses consent, then no. The marriage is over. Period.
I saw a show on this once on either Showtime or Logo. It was talking about how there were these couples who stayed married after one got a sex change. Most were the husband changing to a girl. But apparantly, if you are married as a straight couple and one changes gender, it is still a legal marriage. Personally, I don't know if I could handle if my husband turned into a girl, no matter how gradual the change is.
Well that depends on the person who is not getting the sex change and how they feel about the situation. If the person does not approve, then yes it is grounds for divorse. If they are ok with it, then I guess they stay together. I am sure if you do a google search you can find some entertaining sites on this.
I live in no fault divorce state, so no grounds are necessary. I don't know how many states have that requirement, but I'm sure there are some. I would consider it grounds.
Since it's illegal in all states but two to have a same-sex marriage, you would HAVE to get divorced.
yes grounds for divorce, sorry but I don't know of any sites to use.
Sure unless you would like to become a same sex lover.
