When were the first transsexual rights?

Answer 1

There has never been a need for separate transsexual rights, just full recognition as the corrected sex. If you are fully seen as female under the law, you will automatically have all the same rights given to women. As for when states actually started correcting birth records, it is hard to tell. Some states had laws against crossdressing, and while crossdressing for leisure is not the same as actively living as the other gender, some TS persons were arrested under such laws. But for the most part, the charges got dismissed in court. In some cases, the doctor carry letters were enough. In other cases, the judges ruled that the defendants lacked the mental capacity to appreciate the laws and dismissed the cases on those grounds.

Transsexuals had the most rights around 1999, and then started losing them when those born with transsexualism and who had to get the surgery to not be suicidal were lumped in with sexually-motivated men who dress up for trivial reasons and fetish. Many men who dressed up as women for trivial or fetish reasons and wanted to keep their male genitalia for life used their male advantage and privilege to hijack the transsexual community and turn the public against transsexual persons. The TS Community for the most part did not ask for their help nor want it. Prior to 2000, TS women had religious support and support from Conservative lawmakers. Now, the TG Community turned such people against TS women, caused them to start losing rights, and then started rationing something cheaper back out to them. TS women have a medical condition that TG persons don't have, and thus TS women should have a priority in getting rights because they had no hand in creating their condition. While TG acceptance requires reeducating society, TS acceptance could be granted overnight by universally declaring all who get the surgery their corrected sex and use Federal Laws to punish anyone who doesn't treat a postop TS the same as if they were born with such genitals. The TG crowd would be on their own as they are now and fighting upstream against what the public wants. But the prospect of a group they resent getting more rights than them burns them up. They cannot admit that they might really be men inside, and their need to speak for TS women against their wills surely seems like a masculine move.
