It also led to interesting laws trying to prevent gay marriage in some US states before the Obergefell decision. Some states didn’t want to recognize trans people’s gender status, so if your sex was male and you were a trans woman, the law allowed you to marry a woman but not a man.

In some states, trans people would be recognized for their gender identity and were only allowed to marry accordingly. So a trans woman was viewed as a woman and was only allowed to marry a man.
