My response at that point is that manipulating an unjust law in a brazen way shows the ridiculousness of that law, and if Melissa Etheridge is using the relatively mild heterosexism of California law to get an annulment, then it’s just as laudable as someone using the blatant cissexism of Texas law, whether or not the operative essentialists have their way and draw the line between male and female with a scalpel instead of based on identification.
