When he parrots the usual "trans people fought for gay marriage!1!" line, it got me thinking: not only didn't they, but... why the hell WOULD they?

"Transbians" had ALWAYS been free to marry women; this landmark for same-sex couples changed precisely zip for them. And while it did of course benefit the gay-men-imagining-themselves-as-straight-women crowd, the very fact that their union with hubby WAS a same-sex marriage would be all invalidating and transphobic, right? An official acknowledgement that BOTH spouses are... men? So why would THEY be all gung-ho about "gay marriage" either?
