PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona judge on Friday refused to grant a divorce for a transgender Arizona man who gave birth to three children after beginning to change his sex from female.
Maricopa County Family Court Judge Douglas Gerlach ruled that Arizona's ban on same-sex marriages prevents Thomas Beatie's 9-year union from being recognized as valid.
Thomas Beatie was born a woman and later underwent a double-mastectomy, and began testosterone hormone therapy and psychological treatment to become a man, but he retained female reproductive organs and gave birth to three children.
Gerlach said he had no jurisdiction to approve a divorce because there's insufficient evidence that Beatie was a man when he married Nancy Beatie in Hawaii. He said the Beaties never provided records to fully explain what Thomas Beatie actually had done and not done to become a man.

Let's see how bad his/her's life is fucked up.
Born a woman that wasn't happy with herself so she decided to become a man. There's a pretty good chance she didn't ask God if that was cool with him.
But between the changeover, she had 3 kids. Evidently just because she wasn't happy with being a woman doesn't mean she don't mind a good fucking every now and then.
But yeah, anyways she has 3 kids. Then she becomes a he and he finds somebody and gets married. I'm guessing that after the marriage his/her fucked-upness came out like gangbusters and whataya know, the marriage doesn't seem to be working.
Now he/she wants a divorce because hey! there ain't nothing that can't be changed, right? Not quite. His Honor took one look at that fucked-up mess and said "Oh HELL No, not in my motherfucking state. Y'all need to head back to Hawaii for that shit."
Hey, you made your bed, now sleep in it. Right, Judge?
