Transgender rights in the United States
Many transgender people, particularly transsexuals, have or are seeking to establish a permanent identity as the sex opposite the sex which they were assigned at birth. Non-binary (genderqueer) transgender people may or may not seek legal recognition of a gender identity other than that indicated by their birth sex. All jurisdictions in the United States only recognize the two biological sexes of male and female and grant certain rights based on those sexes. This raises many legal issues for transgender people in areas such as legal identification and marriage.
In the United States, classifying a person's sex as male or female is left to the jurisdiction of the states. As is the case throughout the world, the degree to which a given state recognizes a transgender person as his or her desired sex varies and is dependent on factors such as the steps the person has taken in their transition, such as psychological therapy, hormone therapy, and sex reassignment surgery (SRS).
Discrimination and bias crime on the basis of gender identity and expression are other aspects of transgender law which continue to evolve.
==Marriage==
In ''Obergefell v. Hodges,'' the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that there is a right to marriage without regard to gender. While this is commonly understood as a ruling which eliminated barriers to same-sex marriage, it also meant that neither a person's sex assigned at birth nor their legal gender following gender transitioning can be used to determine their eligibility to marry. Prior to this ruling, however, the right of transgender people to marry were often subject to legal challenge - as were the status of their marriages after a process of transitioning, particularly in cases where an individual's birth gender was used in order to claim that a same-sex marriage had taken place.
