天气冷总是特别想睡觉,昨天九点多提早睡觉 平时没什麽电话可接的我 早上竟然醒来看到七通未接来电 (一半没有名子 大概是诈骗电话吧 = =?) Not Yet a Woman, Not Quite a Man The Kansas Supreme Court recently nullified J’Noel Gardiner’s marriage to now deceased Marshall Gardiner, rejecting any claims to his estate. In 1999, Gardiner, age 85, passed away without a will. Under Kansas state law J’Noel, age 40, was automatically given a portion of his $2.5 million estate. Gardiner ’s estranged son, Joe, challenged J’Noel’s right to a share of the estate, alleging that the marriage was not valid in Kansas since J’Noel is a transsexual, and not legally a woman, despite extensive cosmetic surgery and a Wisconsin state-approved birth certificate identifying J’Noel as female. The judges’ decision read, "J’Noel remains a transsexual, and a male for the purposes of marriage under [Kansas] law. We recognize that there are people who do not fit neatly into the commonly recognized category of male or female…. However, the validity of J’Noel’s marriage to Marshall is a question of public policy to be addressed by the legislature and not by this court." It is unknown whether J’Noel Gardiner will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. —Source: Reason Magazine Nullified使无效 Deceased 死去了的 Estranged分居的 Transsexual变性人 Legislature立法机关 Appeal上诉 晚安 All --
