Legal and LGBT Crosspost regarding legal rights of transsexuals?


This question is being cross posted for views from both the LGBT community and those that are knowledgeable in Law.

Given a person who has legally changed their identity and gender from female to male but had not yet undergone his breast removal surgery, would he be arrested for walking topless in public?

I as a biological man can do this and we all know that females can't.

Would a Female to Male transsexual be afforded the same right to go around town without a shirt if he still had breasts?

If he were harassed, would he then have a Title VII (civil rights act) suit to pursue?

Sid B: There's nothing sick about the question. I'm a straight man with a number of transsexual friends. It's about rights. pure and simple.
I'll be reporting you for abusive content.

Hmm, this is an interesting question! There are some men who go around topless that have "man boobs" and they are not subject to the law. However, I'm sure that the breasts in question would not be like that (unless hormones shrink their size...). I also don't think that the man would go topless not having had the surgery because that is bound to turn heads.

I know of a few cases in which females have challenged their arrests for going topless because of the fact that males can, and that it would be discrimination not to allow females that right. So yes, I do believe that would be basis of a civil rights suit.
