How to get your pension earlier; Become a Woman!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/law/2010/jun/22/woman-sex-change-right-pension

Christopher Timbrell, or Christine, as she is called now has appeared in court, to settle a rather unique case. Since she had a sex change 10 years ago, she feels like she has the rights of any woman. The state thought otherwise and did not want to give her her pension from her 60th birthday, the legal age for women to retire. Men have to continue to work untill their 65th birthday, meaning there is a 5 year gap of pension between the two. Seeing there are no concrete laws for these matters, the judge just ruled in favor of Christine. Still, there were some complications, as she was still living with her wife, whilst marriages after sex changes should be dissolved.

Now comes my opinion to this lovely article. Transsexuals are mostly people trapped in the wrong body. A man that becomes a woman on the outside, is mostly a woman on the inside, so her rights change to one of a woman as well. Simple as that. I do not get that so many people stay ignorant about these kinds of things. People who are willing to change their intire identity are the ones that are genuine in their beliefs, that they are really a woman or man on the inside. People would not just change gender to get pension benefits, so why not make the law a little smoother, so cases like these do not have to get in court anymore? Are we not the generation that strives for progress? Acceptance is one of the things needed for something like that, that is just plain obvious. Then again, that is only my opinion.
