Man unhappy to pay ex-wife - now she's a man

A Florida man is fighting to stop paying maintenance to his ex-wife - because she's now a man.

Lawrence Roach, of Seminole, says his ex-wife has had a sex swap op and is now living as a man.

He says he should be allowed stop paying his £650 monthly alimony payments, reports Bay News 9.

"This isn't right. It's humiliating to me and degrading," he said.

"You know, I'm a man and I don't want to be paying alimony to a man. If you can't be married to a man legally, how can you legally pay alimony to a man?"

Roach and his ex-wife, who Bay News 9 did not identify, divorced 18 months ago after being married for more than 17 years.

Don't see why the alimony recipient's gender ought to matter...

Nonetheless, serious ouch.

I'd argue that if she/he can afford a sex change operation, they dont need your money anymore.

County will pay for that here, too.  Fucking bullshit.  That isn't a legitimate expense.  You don't like being a woman?  Too fucking bad.  You shouldn't get anybody's money if you're going to spend it on that.

Ditto.. That would be like spending tax payer money on cosmetic operations.. "Oh these wrinkles have got to go, I can't live with them! I may look like an old person on the outside, but I'm just a young soul trapped in this wrinkled old body! Will the county cover this?"

The fact that we're governed by a zoo of liberals, hedonists, and bedlamites.
