Michael Kantaras
Michael John Kantaras (born March 26, 1959) is an American trans man who was involved in a high-profile child custody case with his ex-wife.〔Canedy, Dana (February 18, 2002). (Sex Change Complicates Battle Over Child Custody. ) ''New York Times''〕 The case had implications for the legal status of transsexual marriages and the legal definitions of "man" and "woman."〔Robson, Ruthann (2007). A Mere Switch or a Fundamental Change? Theorizing Transgender Marriage. ''Hypatia'', Volume 22, Number 1, Winter 2007, pp. 58-70〕
==Background==
Kantaras was born in Youngstown, Ohio. In the late 1980s, Kantaras underwent hormone treatments and two surgeries at the Rosenberg Clinic in Texas to remove breasts, ovaries, and the uterus, but retained external female genitalia.〔Minai, Leanora (October 26, 2001 ). (Custody case tricky: He used to be she. ) ''St. Petersburg Times''〕 Kantaras married Linda Forsythe in a civil ceremony on July 18, 1989. Kantaras adopted Forsythe's child from a prior relationship, and Forsythe gave birth to a second child through artificial insemination in 1992.
Kantaras met another woman and filed for divorce in 1998, requesting primary custody of the children. Though he won that case in 2002, it was reversed on appeal in 2004 by the Florida Second District Court of Appeals,〔Kantaras v. Kantaras, 884 So. 2d 155 (Fla. Ct. App. 2004)〕 upholding Forsythe's claim that the marriage was null and void because her ex-husband was still a woman and same-sex marriages are illegal in Florida.〔''Michael J Kantaras v Linda Kantaras'' () Case No. 98-5375CA. 511998DR005375xxxWS, 6th Circuit〕 Review was denied by the Florida Supreme Court.〔Kantaras v. Kantaras, 898 So. 2d 80 (Fla. 2005)〕 The couple settled the case with joint custody in 2005.〔Emanuella Grinberg (June 16, 2005). (Settlement reached in transsexual custody case. ) CNN〕
